Michael Toney, awaiting execution on Texas' death row for killing three people in a 1985 bombing, wants to leave something behind for his two daughters when he goes. So he decided to sell the rights to the five witness seats at his still-unscheduled execution on eBay, the online auction site. But the Fort Worth Star-Telegram got the story and prison officials, once alerted, nixed the idea, saying the seats aren't Toney's to sell. Meanwhile, eBay pulled the auction item down. Toney maintains his innocence and says "I do not know what kind of people would donate money to watch an innocent man be murdered. However, I do know that there are people out there who will."
