Mississippi executed a man on Tuesday for the 1990 murders of four of his young nieces and nephews, with the state's governor rejecting heart-wrenching pleas for a reprieve from the mothers of the children he killed.
Henry Curtis Jackson Jr, 47, was pronounced dead by lethal injection at 6:13 p.m. local time at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, according to corrections department spokeswoman Jasmine Cole.
He did not request a last meal and ate none of the standard dinner offered to him, corrections officials said.
He also declined a sedative ahead of the execution. Jackson killed the four children, aged between two and five, during a rampage that started when he went to his mother's home in Leflore County to take money from her safe on November 1, 1990.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
