Danny Harold Rolling, the state's most notorious serial killer since Ted Bundy, was executed Wednesday by lethal injection for the grisly hunting-knife slayings of five college students in 1990 that threw the University of Florida into a panic.

Rolling, 52, was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m. Wednesday in the execution chamber at Florida State Prison. Several victims' relatives witnessed the execution, and dozens of death penalty supporters, curious onlookers and journalists gathered on the barren cow pasture across from the prison.


The U.S. Supreme Court turned down his final appeal, a challenge to the constitutionality of the chemicals used in Florida's execution procedure that has failed before the court in other cases. Justices Stephen Breyer and John Paul Stevens voted to grant the stay of execution, the court said in a three-sentence order.

2. Fine by me.

I would require DNA evidence for capital punishment.

3. I'll shed no tears

for him. I have mixed feelings about the death penalty but I can't feel sympathy for someone like that. I hope the families will have closure from this but I frankly doubt that they will. I know from personal experience that even when the person who did you wrong is no longer on the earth all it leaves you with is an empty feeling.
