In the late 80's Jeffrey Landrigan was convicted of second-degree murder and sent to an Oklahoma prison. He served his time there for as long as he could stand it and then staged an escape attempt... and it worked. Hell, it's Oklahoma. He probably just told the guard he was the warden and ordered him to let him out.
Rather than look at this "get out of jail free card" as a gift to start a new life, Landrigan sunk back into his old one. A year after his escape he held up a store in Arizona - armed robbery that went awry. He strangled the clerk and killed him. This time, Landrigan was headed straight for death row.
Last night at 10:26pm mountain time, the state of Arizona executed two-time murderer Jeffrey Landrigan. It was as typical as a death sentence can be executed. Landrigan ordered his final meal: steak, fried okra, french fries, strawberry ice cream and a Dr. Pepper. Then just before the state administered the lethal injection, the condemned was offered the chance to say his last words.
"I would like to say 'thank you' to my family for being here and all of my friends," Landrigan said, and just when you thought he was finished he uttered the final thing he would ever say.
"Boomer Sooner."
We may have 3 losses, but we're not that guy. Hook 'Em!
