Ricky Ray Rector
The indictment and execution of Rector in 1992 caused controversy, mainly due to his psychological shortcomings. He wanted to save the pecan pie he asked for “for later,” and perhaps his last meal was an unfortunate example of this. However, this condemned man ate a fried chicken, steak, and Kool-Aid cherry he had asked for.
Allen Lee Davis
Nancy Weiler, who was then pregnant and her two girls in Florida, were fatally murdered in 1982 by Allen Lee Davis. He committed the assaults on parole and was previously convicted of armed robbery. The death penalty for his crimes was then imposed on Davis. During the execution of the electric chair, he suffered severe bleeding and sparked a national debate.
