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.
