Killer's Last Words:

From [1]the Arizona Republic:
Robert Comer died Tuesday with a steady gaze and a defiant smile
on his face, the first person to be executed in Arizona since
November 2000.
He was strapped to a gurney and covered up to his neck with a
sheet.
There was no sight of the catheter into his groin that made the
lethal injection possible, no sight of the executioners on the
other side of a wall.
But Comer was smiling; he had petitioned the federal courts to
stop his appeals and hasten his own execution. He was in control of
his destiny.
Comer brought a picture of his daughter with him to the death
chamber and used his last words to say, "Go, Raiders."
