McGill's Execution: Arizona's First in 5 Years
Description
Leroy Dean McGill, a 63-year-old man, is set to be executed in Arizona today for the 2002 murder of Charles Perez. McGill, under the influence of methamphetamine and sleep-deprived, threw gasoline at Perez and his girlfriend, then lit a match, killing Perez and severely burning his girlfriend. Despite a brief trial and McGills waiver of clemency, his execution marks the first of three in the U.S. this week, raising questions about the death penaltys use.
