SMYRNA, Del. (AP) - A man was executed early Friday for raping a woman and burning her to death in her apartment 11 years ago.
Brian Steckel, 36, apologized to his family and his victim's family before receiving a lethal injection. He was pronounced dead at 12:21 a.m.
"I just want to say I'm sorry for the cruel things I did," Steckel said. "I'm not the same man I was when I came to jail. I'm a better person."
