In 1984, she was sentenced to death. While in prison, she found God, and even as her death date approached and she asked for clemency, she claimed that she'd accepted what she'd done and she would now accept her fate. Amid nationwide appeals for clemency on her behalf, she was executed in 1998---the first woman to be killed by the state of Texas since 1863.

Last Words of Real People:

"Tucker, Karla Fay (1960-1998)
"I am going to be face to face with Jesus now. . . . I will see you all when you get there. I will wait for you."
In 1983, Karla Fay Tucker was found guilty and sentenced to die for the murder of Jerry Dean and Deborah Thorton. Tucker, a prostitute and drug addict, used a pickax to viciously hack both of them to death while they slept, leaving the three-foot long tool embedded in Thorton's chest. In her confession, Tucker graphically recounted how she had experienced sexual orgasms with each of the blows. While in prison awaiting decisions on her numerous appeals, Tucker became a darling of the American Christian fundamentalists--led by Pat Robertson--after she married a prison missionary and claimed to have accepted Jesus as her savior. Despite a massive public relations campaign by an unusual alliance of Amnesty International and the religious right to have her sentence commuted to life imprisonment, the State of Texas executed Tucker in 1998.
