Dennis Wayne Eaton, 42, was executed over protests of the sister of one of his victims, Virginia State Trooper Jerry Hines. The former nun met the convicted murderer on death row last year and sought to have his life spared."I'd like to say that I'm sorry," Eaton said before he was injected with a dose of lethal chemicals.
