Last night, Alabama executed the 52-year-old killer despite pleas from the baby girl, La Tonya White, who is now a 23-year-old woman. He had no last words.
"I am deeply opposed to my father's execution. He is the only thing that I have left that's part of me. Taking away my only biological parent will hurt me more than I can say," La Tonya White said in the statement.The U.S. Supreme Court had earlier denied a stay of execution.
According to court records, White shot and wounded Ruby and her sister,
Stella Lanier Walker, then picked up their toddler daughter, holding her in one arm and a shotgun in the other as he fired the fatal shot .
The judge said:
"Leroy White committed unspeakably cruel and heinous acts in the murder of his estranged wife, Ruby White. For his brutal crime, he was tried, convicted and sentenced to death. I see no reason why this office should overturn this sentence."
