A convicted cold -blooded killer thanked his practitioners at a creepy at a creepy after he was killed by a deadly injection, after he put most of his life into death.
Michael Bernard Bell, who has been imprisoned for thirty years after Jimmy West and Tamcka Smith’s murders outside a bar in an attempt to revenge, became another prisoner killed by a deadly injection. With the execution, the US installments kept the sum of last year and continued in 2025 for five months.
His last moments were encountered in Florida State Prison near Starke, while 54 -year -old Bell was asked if he had the last words by the team manager. “Thank you for not allowing me to spend the rest of my life in prison.”
