Who was Andrew Grant DeYoung?
Andrew Grant DeYoung was executed by the state of Georgia in H-5 of the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison in Jackson, Georgia for murder. DeYoung was 37 when he died. His last words were "I'm sorry to everyone I hurt. I love you Dawn. Remember to smile."
DeYoung was the first person to have their execution videotaped in the United States in 19 years. The previous videotaped execution had been a gas chamber execution that took place in California. Because of this event, other states are now considering videotaping executions. There is open discussion concerning whether or not making executions public would sway people to be more for or more against the death penalty.
