 | Ga. man executed, ending 7-month moratorium
This undated prison photo released by the Georgia
Department of Corrections shows convicted murderer William Earl Lynd.
It's been nearly 20 years since Lynd shot his live-in girlfriend
three times in the face, killing her and then burying her body in a
shallow grave near a south Georgia farmhouse. He may at long last be
put to death for the crime on Tuesday. His lawyers will first ask the
state Board of Pardons and Parole on Monday to spare his life,
arguing the crime was not premeditated and was fueled by a toxic mix
of valium, marijuana and alcohol. If the execution moves forward as
scheduled, it would be among the first in the nation since the U.S.
Supreme Court said lethal injection was constitutional. (AP
