Family members of the victims of a serial killer had little sympathy for his execution-room pleas, expressing satisfaction after the one-eyed radiator repairman died by injection.
Ricky Lee Green, 36, was pronounced dead Wednesday, seven minutes after the drugs were administered."Now we can go on and not have to worry about him getting out and hurting anyone else," said Shirley Bailey, whose sister was killed by Green.
Green was condemned for the Dec. 27, 1986, death of Steven Fefferman, an advertising executive with Fort Worth television station KXAS.
Fefferman, 28, was castrated and repeatedly stabbed with a butcher knife at his home after he and Green had sex, according to testimony at Green's trial. Green also admitted killing three people in 1985, including a 16-year-old boy who was castrated and stabbed like Fefferman.
Speaking quietly and slowly, Green turned to four relatives of his victims, who watched through a window a few feet away, and said he was sorry.
