June 9 (UPI) -- Alabama executed Robert Bryant Melson by lethal injection at a correctional facility near Atmore, the state's department of corrections announced.

He received life imprisonment for those crimes, but was sentenced to death for his participation in the 1999 murder of a prison inmate.

He did not offer a final statement or request a final meal, and was pronounced dead at 10:27 p.m., the Alabama Department of Corrections announced. Read More. |
