"Let's do it!"
Gary Mark Gilmore (December 4, 1940 - January 17, 1977) was convicted of killing a motel mananger in Provo, Utah. He was also charged with the murder of a gas station employee the day before the motel murder, but was never convicted.
Gilmore was the first person legally executed in the United States since 1967, ending a 10 year lapse in U.S. executions.
