Brandon Bernard executed despite objections.
Bernard, 40, was put to death by lethal injection in Terre Haute, Indiana, for his role in a 1999 double murder on a Texas military base committed when he was 18 years old.
His attorneys Thursday night had sought an 11th hour stay of execution, which was denied by the U.S. Supreme Court.
In his final words, Bernard apologized for the crime.
“I’m sorry,” he said, according to a media witness.
“That’s the only words that I can say that completely capture how I feel now and how I felt that day.”
Over 500,000 people signed petitions urging President Trump to commute Bernard’s sentence.
