Ohio executes man using animal euthanasia drug - Yahoo! News
Baston, who was 20 at the time of the murder, admitted to participating in the robbery but denied shooting Chong Mah. Baston said he had no intention to kill anyone, and that an accomplice had committed the murder.
The defense argued in an appeal for clemency that the family of the victim did not want Baston to be sentenced to death and still opposed his execution.
The defense also argued that Baston, who had been abandoned by his mother and abused by his father, has been a model inmate and participated in several community service projects.
Ohio Governor John Kasich denied the petition for clemency.
Smith said Baston had no requests for his last meal, so he ate on Wednesday night what everyone else at the prison was eating: beef macaroni casserole, spinach, peas, fresh fruit, wheat bread and a beverage.
The Baston execution took place a day after the governor of Illinois banned the death penalty in the state, finding the system was too flawed to be fixed.
The U.S. executed 46 people last year, down from 52 in 2009.
