A man who killed two people in cold blood uttered just one word before he was executed in a South Carolina prison on Friday - the state's first in 13 years.
Freddie Owens said 'bye' to his attorney and was then strapped into a gurney where he awaited the lethal injection that led to his ultimate demise.
Owens remained conscious for a minute before his eyes closed, his breaths shortened and his face twitched for five minutes before he died.
The 46-year-old killed convenience store clerk Irene Graves during a botched robbery in Greenville in 1997.
During his trial, he murdered fellow inmate Christopher Lee at a county jail which earned him the death penalty.

From Wikipedia:
Less than 12 hours after he was convicted of the murder of Irene Graves, on February 16, 1999, Freddie Owens killed a fellow prisoner while he was in prison.
His sentence of Death seems to have been determined after the second killing. The judge realized what kind of person he was.

It's amazing how much we've Rube Goldberged executions in this country.
There are so many tried and tested techniques that have been used throughout all of human history, many of which are even quicker and more painless than lethal injection.

Hmmmmm! Anyone ever been under general anesthesia? They could take you out and you would never have known. So, no more whining about lethal injections.

I get the feeling the headline writer’s face was the one twitching the most, he was enjoying this a bit too much.
