Ker’Sean Ramey is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Wednesday in Texas. He was convicted of fatally shooting Samuel Roberts, Tiffani Peacock, and Celso Lopez during a 2005 attempted robbery. Ramey, 41, is set to be the sixth person executed in Texas this year. His co-defendant in the killings, LeJames Norman, was executed on September 16. Ramey and Norman believed there was cocaine in the victims' home and intended to steal it, according to court records. They found no drugs and killed the three residents. Norman testified that both he and Ramey shot the victims. Lopez was shot four times, Peacock twice, and Roberts five times. During Ramey's trial, his attorneys blamed Norman for the shootings. ## Disagreement on evidence and background Attorneys for Ramey filed a final appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. They argue that there is no physical evidence linking Ramey to the killings. The appeal also states that jurors did not hear about Ramey's childhood physical abuse and poverty. Prosecutors have told lower courts that Ramey has not presented issues warranting reconsideration of the conviction. ## What the coverage left out None of the right-rated reports mention the argument made in Ramey's final appeal that jurors did not hear about his childhood physical abuse and poverty. ## Who covered it Shares of the 24 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 46% (11) - Centre: 46% (11) - Right: 8% (2) 1 of 25 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

Several left-rated digests mentioned that Ramey's co-defendant, LeJames Norman, testified that both he and Ramey shot the victims. ### Centre - Centre-rated reports focused on the scheduled execution of Ramey and the fact that he is the second man to be executed for the 2005 triple homicide. These reports noted that Ramey's attorneys filed a final appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing a lack of physical evidence and that jurors were not informed of his difficult childhood. The details of the killings, including the number of times each victim was shot, were also included in these reports. ### Right - Right-rated reports stated that Ker’Sean Ramey is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Wednesday, a week after his co-defendant was put to death.
