Tracy Alan Hansen was executed by lethal injection at 6:32 p.m. in a room of Unit 17 at the State Penitentiary at Parchman.
Hansen, the 1st inmate executed in the state since 1989, was put to death for the 1987 murder of state Trooper David Bruce Ladner.
Prison officials said Hansen's execution was delayed by several minutes because the inmate gave a long speech rather than a few last words.
"I don't want to die. My life is being taken from me," witnesses to the execution quoted Hansen as saying. "... I'm sorry in my heart. Trooper Ladner was a good man. I didn't mean to kill him."
