This is so sick, I was hoping that the Governor would do the right thing but he declined.
May you rest in peace Wesley.

I am very sorry to hear the killing machine was not stopped and the Governor did not do the right think.
My sympathy goes out to his family and friends. May you rest in peace now and sleep with the angels.

Thirteen years after he was convicted of shooting a woman to death at a Baltimore County mall while two of her grandchildren looked on, Wesley Eugene Baker was executed Monday night by lethal injection.
Baker, 47, was pronounced dead at 9:18 p.m., making him the fifth person put to death in Maryland since the Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976.
Five reporters and four members of the victim's family, along with three lawyers and Baltimore County police chief Terrence B. Sheridan, witnessed Baker's last breaths. Baker's chest heaved as the chemicals were being administered through two tubes in his left arm and one in this right.
As he died, his breathing became rapid and so loud that it could be heard through the glass window.
