Enlighten me: who the fuck was/ is Ronnie Lee Gardener? What did he do? Is that blood on his shirt? Why is he holding his groins?

Ronnie Lee Gardner (January 16, 1961 – June 18, 2010) was an American criminal who received the death penalty for murder in 1985, and was executed by firing squad by the state of Utah in 2010. Gardner's case spent nearly 25 years in the court system, prompting the Utah House of Representatives to introduce legislation to limit the number of appeals in capital cases.[7]

In October 1984, Gardner killed Melvyn John Otterstrom during a robbery in Salt Lake City. While being transported in April 1985 to a court hearing for the homicide, he fatally shot attorney Michael Burdell in an unsuccessful escape attempt. Convicted of two counts of murder, Gardner was sentenced to life imprisonment for the first count and received the death penalty for the second.[1][3] The state adopted more stringent security measures as a result of the incident at the courthouse.[8] While held at Utah State Prison, Gardner was charged with another capital crime for stabbing an inmate in 1994. However, that charge was overturned by the Utah Supreme Court because the victim survived.[1]

Story seems to backup the pic, but I don't think they look alike?

P.S. I think he's not holding his groins, he's in handcuffs.

I live in Utah, and this is exactly what happened. Apparently he doesn't look the same because he didn't age gracefully.

Not the same guy. A haircut and shave doesn't change your complexion. The first guy has an olive looking complexion and the bald guy is more pale.
