A killer refused the option of a last meal before before being executed by lethal injection for the murder of his ex-girlfriend nearly 30 years ago.
Joe Nathan James Jr, 49, was sentenced to death for killing Faith Hall in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1994.
He shot dead his ex-girlfriend after breaking down the door of her friend’s apartment and attacking her. James was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in 1996, then again following a retrial in 1999.
