William Sallie, 50, was pronounced dead at 10:05 p.m. after a lethal injection at the state prison in Jackson.
Lawyers who sought to block William Sallie's execution said he should be granted a new trial because of alleged juror bias, but courts haven't properly considered that evidence because he missed a filing deadline by eight days at a time when he didn't have a lawyer, his lawyers said in court filings.
Georgia has put to death more people this year than any other state, including Texas with seven.
Sallie was convicted of murder in the fatal shooting of John Lee Moore in March 1990. His first conviction and death sentence were overturned because his attorney had a conflict of interest.

Bet he thought that it would never happen, until they strapped him to that table and stuck that needle in his arm. Then he started feeling like his father-in-law felt right before he died. Now that's justice!
