STARKE, Fla. — A man convicted of murdering eight people in Miami-Dade County in the late 1970s was executed Monday night, despite his lawyers’ pleas that he was too mentally ill to be put to death.
John Errol Ferguson, 65, died at 6:17 p.m., following a lethal injection.
The execution came less than two hours after the U.S. Supreme Court denied a final request for a stay.
Ferguson made a brief statement before 25 witnesses, including family members of the victims.
“I just want everyone to know that I am the prince of God and will rise again,” he said calmly.

"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."
