Johnathan Moore, the condemned may, had these last words for the widow of his victim and others:

"It was done out of fear, stupidity and immaturity. It wasn't until I got locked up and saw the newspaper; I saw his face and smile and I realized I had killed a good man." Moore told Jennifer Morgan, who stood next to the death chamber window surrounded by comforting friends.

He wished her happiness. He then counseled a friend who was a witness to quit using heroin and methadone. He told his father that he loved him.
