Texas man facing execution for fatally beating 13-month-old girl during 'exorcism' Updated 2 mins ago A Texas man is facing execution for killing his girlfriend’s 13-month-old daughter in what the couple had said was part of an “exorcism” to expel a demon from the child’s body. Blaine Milam was set to receive a lethal injection Thursday evening at the state penitentiary in Huntsville. He was condemned for the December 2008 hammer beating of Amora Carson at his East Texas trailer. Prosecutors said Milam savagely beat, bit and strangled the girl over 30 hours.
