Johnson execution
Don Johnson was executed by lethal injection Thursday night for the 1984 suffocation of his wife, Connie Johnson. As he died, the 68 year-old religious inmate offered a long prayer, asking for forgiveness. He asked the warden if he could sing, and he sang two hymns. The last words observers could hear were "no more dying here." Johnson became the fourth person executed in Tennessee since August. The last two inmates executed in Tennessee chose the electric chair, saying they believed it offered a quicker and less painful death than the state's method of lethal injection.
