---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------“Is the Mike On?” Last Words of the ExecutedNew York Times writer, Claire Cameron, posts a list of executed prisoners’ last words she found on the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Web site.

Go ahead?
Nothing I can say can change the past.
My heart goes is going ba bump ba bump ba bump.
Is the mike on?
I don’t have anything to say. I am just sorry about what I did.
Man, there is a lot of people there.
I have come here today to die, not make speeches.

It’s my hour. It’s my hour.
I’m ready, Warden.
