At the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville,...

At the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, David Brewer, 44, was executed for kidnapping, sexually assaulting and killing Sherry Byrne, 21, on March 21, 1985. The execution was delayed about 10 minutes because the execution team had a problem fitting the needles into his arm that would carry the chemicals to his veins. He was pronounced dead by injection at 10:20 a.m. Asked if he had a last statement, Brewer said: "I'd like to say to the system in Ohio as far as the death row inmates are concerned, there are some that are innocent. I'm not one of them, but there are plenty that are innocent. I hope the state recognizes that. That's all I have to say". Brewer becomes the 2nd condemned inmate to be put to death this year in Ohio and the 29th in the USA.
