ATLANTA — A Georgia man has become the first inmate put to death since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of executions by lethal injection. Convicted killer William Earl Lynd was pronounced dead at 7:51 p.m., a state prisons official says.
Lynd, 53, was convicted of kidnapping and shooting to death his 26-year-old girlfriend two days before Christmas in 1988.
| Far as I know, his girlfriend is still dead. |
| I'm not real good at arithmetic, but it looks like he got to breathe for 20 years more than she did. |
