State executes Alderman

Jack Alderman was executed last night at the state prison in Jackson. Georgia’s longest-serving death row inmate was pronounced dead at 7:25 following a 14-minute lethal injection procedure. Prison officials say Alderman barely touched his last meal, and refused a sedative for the process. He also declined to make a final statement. Alderman was put to death for the killing of his wife in 1974.
