Joseph Franklin was convicted of over 22 killings between 1977 and 1990. He murdered these people in an attempt to start a race war between white and black people. He said that he was, "doing the will of God." He was given the death penalty and was killed by lethal injection at 6:07 Wednesday morning. The execution was originally scheduled for midnight, but was delayed by countless appeals saying that it was an unfair way to die. He refused his final meal and declined to make a final statement.
