A man who sexually assaulted and murdered a 16-year-old girl back in 2000, ate two bone-in fried pork chops for his last meal and offered his apologies to the victim's family before he was executed.
A man who carved ‘I’m sorry’ on his chest after raping and murdering a 16-year-old girl has been executed.
The 58-year-old had been on death row since 2001, when he pleaded guilty to capital murder, rape and four counts of sexual battery against Leesa Marie Gray. Leesa’s mother, Wanda Farris, attended the execution at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman.‘For the past 20 years, I’ve tried to do a good deed every single day to make up for the life I took from this world,’ he said.
‘I know these are mere words and cannot erase the damage I did. If today brings you nothing else, I hope you get peace and closure.’
