Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

On the day of his execution Wilkerson refused to leave his cell at the Terrell Unit prison near Livingston. Guards were forced to use Mace-like gas and carry him to and from the death van that took him to the Hunstville Unit. After the drugs were administered Wilkerson spit out an inch-and-a-half universal handcuff and leg restraint key.
