Details of both the Yarborough and Nagle murders were featured in the BBC documentary Life and Death Row - Crisis Stage.
[5] The state relied on the testimony of Lisa Baylor, a forensic analyst who testified, using a now-debunked scientific method called "physical matching".
[5] Baylor linked the tape round the handle of the shank used to murder Nagle with a prison craft shop where a cellmate of Pruett worked.
[5] Pruett died by lethal injection on October 12, 2017, after appeals for clemency to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles were rejected.
Nagle, who was the president of the AFSCME union local that represents McConnell guards, had complained that low pay, high turnover, and poor training of staff were turning Texas prisons into powderkegs.
[15] Eliseo Martinez, one of the Correctional Officers interviewed during the investigation into Nagle's death, was arrested in late January 2000 for transporting a package believed to have contained $60,000 in laundered drug profits for inmates.
[20] Pruett claims that the foreman of the jury that sentenced him to death asked him for forgiveness due to doubts about the safety of his conviction.
