STARKE, Fla. (AP) -- A former police officer convicted of the on-duty rape and murder of a young girl was put to death Tuesday, the first of two lethal injections planned for a single day in Florida, hours before an 80-year-old man was to become the second-oldest inmate executed in modern U.S. history.

Bookies lined up at the bar, keeping tabs on the games.

Not having seen this thread, I put on a T-shirt today with this man's photo:
