Alabama executes country’s oldest inmate 30 years after he killed judge, attorney with package bombs

The state of Alabama executed an 83-year-old man nearly three decades after he sent out package bombs that killed a U.S. circuit judge and  a civil rights attorney.

Walter Leroy Moody, who was killed by lethal injection on Thursday night, became the oldest U.S. inmate to be executed in modern times.

He reportedly kept his eyes closed throughout the procedure and did not respond when asked to make a last statement by the warden.
