Richard Gerald Jordan, 79, was executed in Mississippi for the 1976 kidnapping and murder of Edwina Marter. Jordan, a Vietnam veteran, apologized to the victim's family before the lethal injection. His execution followed decades of legal challenges, including arguments about his PTSD and the state's execution protocol. The Supreme Court rejected his final appeal.
