Double murderer Earl Russell Behringer is executed by lethal injection at the age of 33 in Huntsville Prison, 815 12th Street, Huntsville, Texas, United States. Behringer's last meal request was for scrambled eggs, hash browns, toast, gravy, sausage and grape juice. Behringer's last words were: "It’s a good day to die. I walked in here like a man and I am leaving here like a man. I had a good life. I have known the love of a good woman, my wife. I have a good family. My grandmother is the pillar of the community."
