BREAKING NEWS – Jackson, Georgia – A Georgia man convicted of a 1996 shotgun slaying maintained he “ain’t never took a life,” before he was put to death by lethal injection. Marion Wilson Jr., 42, and Robert Earl Butts Jr. were convicted of murder and sentenced to death for the shotgun slaying of 24-year-old Donovan Corey Parks in Milledgeville — about 90 miles southeast of Atlanta. Wilson told his friends, family and supporters before receiving a deadly injection of pentobarbital at the state prison in Jackson: “I love y’all forever. Death can’t stop it. Can’t nothing stop it.” One of his childhood teachers was visibly shaken and was inconsolable, with the fact that Wilson never learned “good English”.
