Florida: Prisoner Screams "Murderers!" as Lethal Drugs Administered
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in Florida, state prison officials administered a lethal cocktail
of drugs to death row prisoner Eric Scott Branch Thursday, stopping his
heart. Witnesses to the execution say Branch screamed and repeatedly
shouted "Murderers!" as the drugs were administered. Prison officials
would later deny that the scream was caused by the execution drugs.
