Jerry Jackson was executed in Virginia on August 18th, 2011

Jerry Jackson, 30, was the 31st prisoner put to death in the US this year. Asked if he had any last words, Jackson shook his head and said "no". At about 4 p.m. Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court turned down his petition for a stay of execution, with two justices on the nine-member court — Ruth Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor — the only members voting for the stay. May he rest in peace.
