As previously reported, the Missouri man who abducted a six-year-old girl in 2002, lured her to an abandoned factory where he tried to sexually assault her but beat her and bashed her to death with a brick and heavy rock when she fought back, received what he had coming for 21 years.
Johnny Johnson, 45, was put to death Tuesday evening, shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request to block the execution over claims he was mentally incompetent.
Of course, he wasn't so mentally incompetent when he tried to hide little Casey Williamson's body at the time of the murder.
Johnson received a lethal injection of pentobarbital in a state prison in Bonne Terre and was pronounced dead at 6:33 p.m. CDT, according to prison authorities. He was convicted of killing the child in 2002 in the St. Louis suburb of Valley Park.
Johnson, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, expressed remorse in a brief handwritten statement released by the Department of Corrections hours before being executed.
