Authorities said Brown was part of a ring that shuttled drugs from Texas to Alabama and had bought drugs from a Houston couple.
Josh Reiss, chief of the Post-Conviction Writs Division with the Harris County District Attorney's Office in Houston, called Brown's last-minute appeals a delay tactic.
Reiss said school records submitted at Brown's trial showed while the inmate was initially thought to possibly be intellectually disabled in the third grade, by ninth grade that was no longer the case. The prosecutor also said Brown's claims of innocence are problematic as the other suspect alleged to be the killer was found by investigators to not have been in Houston at the time.
Brown is one of six Texas death row inmates who are part of a lawsuit seeking to stop the state's prison system from using what they allege are expired and unsafe execution drugs. Despite a civil court judge in Austin preliminarily agreeing with the claims, four of the inmates have been executed this year.
