ATMORE, Ala. (AP) - A man convicted in the 1978 slayings of a couple during a home robbery that followed a night of drinking was executed by injection Thursday.
Aaron Lee Jones, 55, had no final words, never looking toward the witnesses that included his victims' adult children. Jones kept his eyes fixed on the ceiling.
The prison chaplain knelt beside Jones, placed his hand on the inmate's left hand and prayed. Jones was pronounced dead at 6:29 p.m.
