Martin, born in Shreveport, became the 27th convict put to death in Louisiana since the penalty was reinstated in 1979, and the 27th person executed in the United States this year.

Martin, 34, was sentenced to die for the rape and strangulation of Christina Burgin, who was 19 when she was killed in Lake Charles in 1991.

 Martin Bagley
Martin was baptized Roman Catholic, April 1, 1849, at the Kilbride Parish church in Clara, Offaly.
Martin was then only twenty-five, thus we might conclude that railroad construction contracting, outside the southern Louisiana district, provided his source of funds.
Martin almost immediately devised a plan which made him agent for the two wives, Elizabeth and Anna, who in turn individually bought back the assets from the banks on November 14, 1892, for a series of notes payable over a few years.

Nita Morrow is a 16-year-old living in Jennings, Louisiana (a place that people move from, as opposed to move to) working as a waitress in a diner, already feeling trapped in her skin, in her life.
Nita is never satisfied, not with a succession of larger homes, bigger cars, children; Toussaint is unable to express his feelings, his passion, for Nita to her, except on the most rudimentary level, and then with such clumsiness that his good intentions go astray.
