This
is the picture of an American criminal and murderer who gained
international notoriety for demanding that his death sentence be fulfilled
following two murders he committed in Utah. He became the first person executed
in the United States after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a new series of death
penalty statutes in the 1976. Although he had an I.Q. of 133, had high scores
on both scholastic and academic tests, and clear artistic skills, he dropped
out of high school in the ninth grade. By the age of 14, he started a small car
theft ring with other friends, resulting in his first arrest. He was executed
on January 17, 1977 at 8:07 a.m. by firing squad at Utah State Prison in
Draper, Utah for committing two murders. He was strapped to a chair, with a
wall of sandbags placed behind him to absorb the bullets. Five gunmen, local
police, stood concealed behind a curtain with five small holes cut for them to
place their rifles through. When asked for any last words, he replied something
which has inspired something related to the world of sports. Either tell me
what he replied or what it inspired or give me his name.

French-Canadian descent, X was raised a Roman Catholic in a poverty-stricken,
but, by her own account, happy home in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada. Music had

performer. In a 1994 interview with People magazine, she recalled, "I
missed my family and my home, but I don't regret having lost my adolescence. I
had one dream: I wanted to be a singer."
