The State of Georgia performed its first execution of the year tonight. Timothy Carr was pronounced dead at 8:37 this evening. Both the United States Supreme Court and the Georgia Supreme Court refused to block his execution, despite strong arguments that Carr committed the murder under the explicitly direction (and some say control) of his girlfriend (who received a life sentence and could receive parole). Carr's other two accomplices were 16 at the time of the crime. One served no prison time and the other served 18 months in a juvenile detention center.
Timothy Carr was 34 at the time of his death. Before entering the death chamber, Carr expressed regret and apologized for his crime.
