A death row inmate suffered an agonizing execution in 2020, hours after making a “mistake” relating to his last meal request.
Wesley Ira Purkey, 68, was put on death row for the kidnap, rape, and murder of 16-year-old schoolgirl Jennifer Long back in 1998.
Harrowing reports detailed how Purkey lured his victim into his pickup truck outside of a supermarket, with the girl having last been seen taking skipping lessons on January 22.
