Carey Dean Moore
Carey Dean Moore, 60, was executed by lethal injection at the Nebraska State Penitentiary on August 14, 2018, after nearly 39 years in the state's custody on death row. In a handwritten final statement he wrote to his younger brother Donald, apologizing for leading him the wrong way, and he mouthed "I love you" to family and a friend watching from the gallery. Corrections officials said the four-drug procedure was carried out as planned, and media witnesses described him as composed and shaken, with the process lasting about 15 minutes. The Lancaster County coroner pronounced his death at 10:47 a.m., and the ACLU of Nebraska criticized the secrecy surrounding the execution.
Cause of death, as reported: Executed by the state
Reported by: Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (the agency that held him); Lancaster County coroner (medical examiner or coroner).
