Around 9.30 on the night of June 20th 1995, Larry Griffin lay down on his prison bed to sleep. He was woken at three the next morning to be told that his last-minute appeals against his death sentence for the murder of Quintin Moss, 15 years before, had been unsuccessful. The death warrant was read to him; he was then taken a short distance to the execution chamber and given a lethal injection. He made no final statement. His death, it seemed, was the end of the matter.
