John R Hicks

John R Hicks was executed  for the 1985 aggravated murder of Brandy Greene.

Hicks was a cocaine addict and an alcoholic.
He was pronounced dead at 10:20 AM on November 29, 2005, after being executed by lethal injection at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, Ohio.
Asked for a final statement by the warden he said:

"It begun with a syringe in my arm and it ends with a needle in my arm. It’s come full circle. I realize that.  I know this may be shallow or hollow words to y’all but it’s coming from my heart."
After the drugs began to flow, he said "Whoa. Hallelujah", laughed loudly and then said "Yes. Thank you."
