Florida Executes Man Who Raped, Killed Two Young Sisters
Fox News ^ | September 24, 2008

A Florida man convicted of shooting two young sisters in the head after raping and shooting their mother was executed Tuesday after a two-hour delay while authorities awaited final rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Richard "Ric Ric" Henyard, 34, was pronounced dead at 8:16 p.m. He had been condemned for the death of 7-year-old Jamilya Lewis and her 3-year-old sister, Jasmine.

Henyard and a younger accomplice carjacked Dorothy Lewis and her daughters outside a grocery store in the central Florida town of Eustis on the night of Jan. 30, 1993. Henyard, then 18, raped Lewis and then shot her multiple times at close range, but she survived. He then participated in the shooting deaths of her daughters after they cried out for their mother.

Lewis and her daughters had gone to a Winn-Dixie about 10 p.m. when they were carjacked by Henyard and 14-year-old Alfonza Smalls.

Smalls repeatedly demanded that Lewis "shut the girls up" because they were crying.

At one point, Lewis beseeched Jesus for help and Henyard replied, "This ain't Jesus, this is Satan."

Henyard and Smalls raped Lewis before Henyard shot her in the leg, neck, mouth and between the eyes. She was rolled off the side of the road and left for dead.

As they were driven away by Henyard and Smalls, the girls yelled: "I want my Mommy! Mommy, Mommy!"

A short time later, the girls were taken from the car and killed with gunshot wounds to the head.

His death came far too late and was far too painless.

This scum got to live almost 16 years after he committed his crime. 6 years longer than the combined ages of the girls he killed.

Sad.

Yes they did. All I see now are this one and a bailout thread. Even most of the sidebar is gone. Yikes!

Yet another sickening story. I suppose Sr. Prejean and others are weeping for this poor man.

Only the second execution under Gov Crist? Were they on hold until the Supreme Court decision? I thought FL got rid of their death row inmates more quickly. Not fast enough though.
