“I’m sorry for what happened. I love you all. I love you all. I’m ready.”

Jimmy Dale Bland’s last words. He was executed in Oklahoma on June 26th, 2007.
Much of what Bland said to his family was inaudible because of a defect in the death chamber’s public address system.
Bland had a fatal case of lung cancer that had spread to his brain, and had undergone radiation treatment and chemotherapy according to his lawyer, David Autry. Bland would have died in six months, Autry said.
