TEXAS LAST MEAL
CARLTON AKEE TURNER
July 10, 2008


Last Meal: Turner had a final meal request of fried chicken, a cheese and onion omelets and chocolate cake.

Last Words and such: "I've been sorry for the last 10 years. I wish you could accept my apology," he said to an uncle who watched through a window. "I know you can't give your forgiveness. It's OK. I understand. I know I caused a lot of pain." Turner said he hoped his family could come to terms with what he did. "I accept the responsibility. I take this penalty as a man. I am sorry. I know I was wrong." He also told his uncle that he loved him. "I am still your nephew, no matter what you believe," he said just before the drugs took effect.
