Oklahoma man who raped and murdered two elderly women in the 1980s is executed after final meal of fish, fries and hush puppies

An Oklahoma man convicted of raping and murdering two elderly women in the 1980s was executed Tuesday night, after a last meal of fish, fries and hush puppies with tartar sauce and ketchup from Long John Silver's. Ronald Clinton Lott, 53, made no final statement before he received a lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. Lott, the fifth Oklahoma death row inmate to be executed this year, was pronounced dead at 6:06 p.m., officials confirmed. As the curtains opened, Lott looked over at his brother, who raised his fist and nodded. Lott made no final statement. He again looked at his brother in the first row of the viewing room as the drugs were pumped into his body, then Lott's eyes closed. He started breathing heavily and gasped for air three times. Following the pronouncement of death, corrections workers tried to close the curtains, but one wouldn't despite repeated attempts. They ended up hanging a white sheet over the window. An Oklahoma County jury convicted Lott of two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Anna Laura Fowler, 83, in September 1986 and Zelma Cutler, 93, in January 1987. He was also convicted of raping the women. State and federal courts denied Lott's appeals.
