IN THE 297T" JUDICIAL

DISTRICT COURT OF

TARRANT COUNTY, TEXAS

Order Setting Execution

This day this cause being again called, the State appeared by District

Attorney and the defendant, Christopher Chubasco" Wi 1kins, appeared in person,

in the charge of the Sheriff, along with the defendant's counsel, Hilary

Sheard, for the purpose of having sentence of law pronounced in accordance with

the verdict and judgment rendered against him at a former term of this Court:

to wit, on the 12^ day of March 2008.

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the defendant' s conviction

and death sentence on direct appeal on October 20, 2010, and the Supreme Court

of the United States denied his petition for a writ of certiorari on May 23,

2011. See Wilkins v. State, No. AP-75,878 (Tex.Crim. App. October 20, 2010)

(unpublished), cert, denied, 131 S. Ct. 2901 (2011). The defendant filed a

state application for writ of habeas corpus, which the Court of Criminal

Appeals of Texas denied on February 2, 2011. See Ex parte Wilkins; No. WR75,229-01 (Tex. Crim. App. February 2, 2011) (unpublished).

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas

having denied the defendant relief on his federal petition for writ of habeas

corpus and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit having

denied the defendant's request for a certificate of appealability, the

defendant has exhausted his avenues for relief through the federal courts. See

Wilkins v. Thaler, No. 4:12-CV-270-A (N. D. Tex. January 29, 2013)

(unpublished); Wilkins v. Thaler, No. 13-70014 (5th Cir. March 25, 2014)

(unpublished). On February 23, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States

denied the prisoner's petition for writ of certiorari. See Wilkins v. Stephen,

135 S.Ct. 1397 (2015).

Thereupon this Court proceeded to pronounce sentence against ;the

defendant, Christopher Chubasco Wilkins, as follows:
You, Christopher Chubasco Wilkins, were indicted by the Grand Jury of

Tarrant County, Texas, charging you with the offense of capital murder. A jury

upon your trial returned a verdict in this Court on the 4th day of March 2008,

finding you guilty of the offense Of capital murder. The same jury also

returned a verdict in this Court on the 11th day of March 2008, with affirmative

findings on the issue or issues submitted to the jury at punishment, pursuant

to Article 37.071, Sections 2(b) (1) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure,

and with a negative finding on the issue submitted to the jury at punishment,

pursuant to Article 37.071, Section 2(e) (1). This Court, in accordance with

the jury's findings at punishment, assessed your punishment at death. The

judgment of this Court was reviewed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and

the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the judgment of this Court in all

things. This Court is now proceeding with the judgment and sentence in your

case.

Whereupon the defendant was asked by the Court whether he had anything to

say as to why sentence of this Court should not be pronounced against him, and

the defendant answered nothing in bar. The Court then proceeded, in the

presence of the defendant and his counsel, to pronounce sentence against the

defendant as follows:

It is the order of this Court that you, Christopher Chubasco Wilkins,

having been adjudged guilty of capital murder and having been assessed

punishment at death, in accordance with the findings of the jury and the

judgment of this Court, shall at some time after the hour of 6:00 p.m. on the

28th day of October 2015, be put to death by an executioner designated by the

Director of the Correctional Institutions Division of the Texas Department of

Criminal Justice, who shall cause a substance or substances in a lethal

quantity to be intravenously injected into your body sufficient to cause your

death, and until your death, such execution procedure to be determined and

supervised by the Director of the Correctional Institutions Division of the

Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

It is ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court shall issue a death warrant,

in accordance with this sentence, to the Director of the Correctional

Institutions Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and shall

deliver such warrant to the Sheriff of Tarrant County, Texas, to be by him

delivered to the Director of the Correctional .Institutions Division of the

Texas Department of Criminal Justice, together with the defendant, Christopher

Chubasco Wilkins. apfrttfiedcopy
