ACKSON — Georgia’s longest-serving death row inmate was executed Tuesday in the slaying of his wife 34 years ago.
Jack Alderman was pronounced dead at 7:25 p.m. at the state prison in Jackson.
The 57-year-old Alderman was sentenced to die by lethal injection in the 1974 slaying of his wife, Barbara. He and an accomplice beat her with a crescent wrench and choked her at their Chatham County home before dumping her body in a creek. Prosecutors allege he wanted to collect $20,000 in life insurance money.
Alderman has been on death row for 33 years.

In 1974 I had just married my wife. This guy took up too much oxygen. Hope he found forgiveness...

Putting a guy on death row for 33 years before his sentance was carried out is plenty cruel but not at all unusual. This should have been taken care of many, many years ago.

Putting a guy on death row for 33 years before his sentance was carried out is plenty cruel.... Then maybe Alderman shouldn't have been filing all those appeals.

Part of that blame goes directly to the state.
They shoulda nipped it in the bud long ago.

33 years in jail for $20K? Is that like $14/week? And then he gets the needle.
Sheeeesh what an ass. We are way better off without him
