According to the prosecutor's office's findings in 2010, in Chilton Osgood, he murdered 44-year-old Tracy Lynn Brown. Earlier, together with their girlfriend, they made sexual assault on her. In 2014, the jury found him guilty of murder.
“I haven't said her name from that day” – quotes Osgooda Agencja Associated Press. Before the execution, he added that he was not sure if he should do it.
“Tracy, I'm sorry!” He said finally.
As prosecutors explained, Osgood confessed to the police that together with their girlfriend they committed sexual assault on Brown following a conversation about their common fantasies about kidnapping and torture of someone. The couple forced the victim to have sexual activities, threatening her with a weapon.
In 2014, the jury unanimously recommended the death penalty. However, the original judgment was set aside by the Court of Appeal. During the re -hearing in 2018, Osgood himself asked for a death sentence, arguing that he did not want to expose the victims' families to the torment of the next trial.
Osgood's girl, who was also a cousin of the murdered Brown, was sentenced to life imprisonment.
“Planned, macabre and shocking”. The murderer pleaded guilty and withdrew his appeals
Governor Alabama Kay Ivey described the murder of a woman as “planned, macabre and shocking.”
In an interview with AP last week, Osgood confessed that he withdrew his appeals because he felt guilty.
“As I said in court, I am a definite supporter of the” eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth “. I took my life, so my life was taken away. I do not believe in sitting here and wasting time and money of everyone, “emphasized Osgoood.
Prisoners doomed to death in Alabama have the opportunity to choose the method of execution from the injection of poison, electrical chair or nitrogen gas. Osgood chose poison.
