Workman, 53, was pronounced dead [1] at 1:38 a.m. after a lethal cocktail of drugs was injected into his body as he lay strapped to a prison gurney at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution.
Workman’s final words were brief.
"I've prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ not to lay charge of my death to any man," Workman said.
About two minutes later, with his eyes closed as he gulped, somewhat nervously, Workman uttered his final words: "I commend my spirit into your hands Lord Jesus Christ."
He then turned his head slightly to the left and lay motionless, as an ashen color overtook his face.
