'I still love you. I never wanted to hurt anyone. I am sorry I hurt them and you,' he said in a final written statement before his execution.
The state of Missouri on Tuesday executed Brian Dorsey for the 2006 murders of his cousin, Sarah Bonnie , and her husband, Benjamin Bonnie, after an effort to have his life spared failed in recent days.
In a final written statement before his execution, Dorsey thanked supporters who advocated on his behalf and apologized to the loved ones of his victims. "Not only did Jade lose her parents but we also lost a daughter and son, sister and brother, aunt and uncle, and a great aunt and great uncle to so many," the statement from Sarah Bonnie's family read, in part.
The couple went to Dorsey's apartment and the drug dealers left. They then took Dorsey back to their home, the ruling notes, and Dorsey spent the evening drinking and playing pool with their family and friends. "We think of all the things that she has missed out on during her life without her parents. First day of school, school parties, school dances, first date, sweet sixteen, first boyfriend and high school graduation," their statement said. "All of this was taken from her by a family member that proclaimed to love her."
