Martin Link was executed in Missouri on February 9th, 2011

Martin Link was pronounced dead at 12:15 am (0615 GMT), 14 minutes after being given a lethal injection at Bonne Terre prison, the Missouri Department of Corrections said. It was the state's first execution in two years and its second since late 2005.  Gov. Jay Nixon on Monday denied clemency and the courts on Tuesday refused to halt the execution. Martin was first sentenced to death in 1995. May he rest in peace.
