Shot in the upper chest in the 2003 attack, Kent Whitaker barely survived the ambush, but only after hearing the first two bullets, which killed his youngest, Kevin, a college sophomore, and wife, Tricia, whose last sounds he heard were a series of weak, wet coughs as blood filled her lungs.
Now 38, Thomas Whitaker is scheduled to be executed on Feb. 22 for the crime.
His father, however, is making a last-ditch plea to spare his son’s life despite the heartache and suffering he has caused.
