Christopher Newton Executed in Ohio

The execution team stuck Christopher Newton at least 10 times with needles Thursday to insert the shunts where the chemicals are injected.

In a statement read by a lawyer after his death, Newton, 37, apologized to Brewer’s family and his own. But the only thing Newton said in the death chamber was: "Yes, boy, I could sure go for some beef stew and a chicken bone. That’s it."
