JACKSON, Ga. (AP) — A man was executed Tuesday for fatally stabbing a teenager and beating him with a baseball bat as he pleaded for his life during a robbery.
Timothy Don Carr, 34, received a lethal injection at the state prison in Jackson for killing 17-year-old Keith Patrick Young in October 1992. Carr was pronounced dead at 8:37 p.m.
"It's time for justice to be served," Carr said in his final statement. He also apologized to the victim's mother for any grief he may have caused her and told his family that he loved them.
