Stephen Edward Wood was imprisoned for killing two transients, and while behind bars he killed an ex-minister. He had nothing to say at his execution by lethal injection.
Wood, 38, had waived his appeals and asked for an early execution.Two daughters of the Rev. Robert Bruce Brigden watched their father's killer die early Wednesday.
"I do not want to go out of vengeance or anything like that," Susan Welch said. "I have no anger or hatred of this man. I've forgiven him."
