Final/Special Meal:

Texas no longer offers a special "last meal" to condemned inmates. Instead, the inmate is offered the same meal served to the rest of the unit which was: grilled hamburger patties, beef hot links, French fries, green beans, pinto beans, mixed vegetables, rice, sliced bread, apple cobbler, lemonade, and milk.

Final/Last Words:

"I know that I took somebody special from y'all. I know it wasn't right, it was wrong. I wish I could give it back, but I know I can't. I wish there was something I could do."

Now that the Californians have voted against abolishing the death penalty, I wonder when they will start offing the 600 (?) or so deathrow inmates that have piled up the last years waiting for this vote to happen.

Anybody got inside info?

Donald Eugene Moeller

Executed October 30, 2012 10:24 p.m. CDT by Lethal Injection in South Dakota



Victim:


Becky O'Connell, 9

Crime:

Moeller kidnapped 9 year old Becky O'Connell near a Sioux Falls convenience store, where she'd gone to buy sugar to make lemonade at home. He drove her to a secluded area near the Big Sioux River, then raped and stabbed her to death. Her naked body was found the next day. Her throat had been slashed. Eight months later, Moeller turned up in Tacoma, Washington where he had fled. Semen found on the body of the victim matched a DNA sample taken from Moeller.

State v. Moeller, 616 N.W.2d 424 (S.D. 2000). (Direct Appeal - Affirmed)

Scrambled eggs, sausage links, tater tots and drip coffee.

Final Words:

When asked whether he had any last words before his execution, Moeller replied, "No, sir," then asked, "They're my fan club?" in apparent reference to the sound of other inmates.

Garry Thomas Allen

Executed November 6, 2012 06:10 p.m. CDT by Lethal Injection in Oklahoma



Victim:


Lawanna Gail Titsworth, 24

Crime:

Allen pleaded guilty and was sentenced to death for the murder of his fiancée, Lawanna Gail Titsworth. Three days after Titsworth left Allen with their two sons, Allen confronted Titsworth outside of the children’s day care and shot her in the chest. He left, and then returned, shooting Titsworth three times in the back. When police found Allen in an alley, Allen fought with an officer, attempting to force the officer to shoot himself with his service weapon. The officer moved the weapon, causing the bullet to strike Allen in the left eye.

Citations:

Allen v. State, 821 P.2d 371 (Okla.Crim. App. 1991). (Direct Appeal-Vacating DP)

Allen v. Mullin, 368 F.3d 1220 (10th Cir. 2004). (Habeas)

Final/Special Meal:

A large meat lover’s pizza and a Pepsi.

Final Words:

Allen rambled unintelligibly about Obama and Romney. Allen’s garbled speech about the presidential race coincided with a loud banging noise as the other inmates in H-Unit said their good-byes. “Obama won two out of three counties. It’s going to be a very close race,” Allen said just before Oklahoma State Penitentiary Deputy Warden Art Lightle asked him if he had a last statement. Allen looked at Lightle and asked, “Huh?” Then he continued in his garbled speech and then again raised his head and said, “Hi,” to his attorneys. Allen’s unintelligible ramblings continued. He spoke about Obama and Jesus. “I hope that more realize Jesus is the son of God — the only son of God. Jesus is the one and only savior."

Mario Rashad Swain

Executed November 8, 2012 6:39 p.m. CDT by Lethal Injection in Texas



Victim:

Lola Nixon, 44

Crime:

By Dec. 28, 2002, Lola Nixon's friends were worried about her. She hadn't shown up to dinner the night before, so they went to her Longview home to see if she was OK. When they arrived, they found that the home had been broken into and there was blood throughout the house.

Police quickly found a lead: 23-year-old Mario Swain, who'd been driving a pickup truck that neighbors spotted outside Nixon's home the night she disappeared. Swain agreed to talk to police. Although he initially tried to inculpate two different men as being responsible for an attack on Nixon, each had an alibi. Ultimately, Swain confessed: Nixon came home while he was burglarizing her house; he bludgeoned her with a tire iron, put her into the trunk of her car, and drove to a field, where he left her. She was still breathing, he said, but barely conscious. After a three-day trial, Swain was sentenced to death.

Citations:

Swain v. State, 181 S.W.3d 359 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). (Direct Appeal)
Swain v. Thaler, 466 Fed.Appx. 393 (5th Cir. 2012). (Federal Habeas)

Final/Special Meal:

Texas no longer offers a special "last meal" to condemned inmates. Instead, the inmate is offered the same meal served to the rest of the unit which was tacos, rice, corn, and mixed beans and greens, with punch, milk, tea, and water to drink.

Final/Last Words:

None.

Anyone else think that Donald Eugene Moeller looks like a demented Santa Claus.
As far as California, executions aren't going to start anytime soon. Besides the endless legal wranging, (now that they have a state-of-the art execution chamber instead of a cramped, dimly lit former gas chamber the main thing being argued it the continued use of the three-drug protocal instead of the single drug) all of California's death juice expired ages ago and thanks to the nationwide shortage of it they can't get more.
