JACKSON, Ga. --- Convicted murderer Mark McClain had remained tight-lipped leading up to execution Tuesday night. But as he lay strapped to a table inside the maximum security state penitentiary, he broke his silence, however briefly, when prison Warden Steve Upton asked him whether he would like a prayer to be said. "No, I'm fine," said Mr. McClain, who looked up briefly. Seconds later a deadly series of drugs entered his body through two IVs in his arms. Mr. McClain, 42, was pronounced dead 15 minutes later. Mr. McClain was put to death almost 15 years after he fatally shot an Augusta pizza store manager in a holdup that netted about $130. A spokeswoman for the Georgia Department of Corrections said he was pronounced dead at 7:24 p.m. at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison. Protesters held vigils outside the prison, at the state Capitol, the Augusta library and six other Georgia cities. Read More. |
