Craig Ogan, 47, was executed at the Huntsville "Walls" Unit.
Ogan, who was a DEA informant -- but never hired by the federal government -- shot James Boswell on the night of Dec. 8, 1989 after Boswell did not respond to his demands for assistance quickly enough. Even during his final statement, Ogan claimed he was acting in self-defense.
Ogan was pronounced dead at 7:13 p.m. His execution, which had been scheduled to take place an hour earlier, had been delayed while 2 final appeals were heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
