27 years ago He Didn't Smoke a Cigarette



Murderer Gary Lee Davis is executed by lethal injection at the age of 53 in Colorado State Penitentiary, Cañon City, Colorado, United States.


Davis' last meal request was for ice cream. Shortly before his execution Davis also requested a cigarette – as a smoking ban was in place in Colorado prisons his request was denied. Davis was the only person to date to have been subject to the death penalty in Colorado since its reinstatement in 1977.
