Georgia puts convicted killer to death

JACKSON, Ga., Oct. 20 (UPI) -- A Georgia man was put to death Tuesday for killing a Domino's Pizza manager during a 1994 robbery that brought him $130.

Mark McClain, 42, died at 7:24 p.m. EDT, officials at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson said. He had declined to make any last statement, The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle reported.

During his 1995 trial, McClain admitted shooting Kevin Brown, 28. But he said he did not intend to kill him.

McClain was on parole at the time of the robbery after doing time in South Carolina for a holdup. Prosecutors called him a hardened criminal.

1. I hate guns.

I've been in the death chamber at San Quentin. It's a major creep-out.

2. I hate criminals...

who shoot people just trying to make a living. Of course he meant to kill him. He made a plan, entered the store, pointed his weapon and pulled the trigger.
