Famous Last Words?

Via Crime & Federalism, check out this website where the state of Texas maintains information on all the folks it has executed in the past 25 years. Particularly interesting (or maybe just morbid) are the links to the last statements of the condemned. Based on the few I've read, the about to die seem very resigned to their fates. No anger, no anguished pleas for mercy. Lots of thanks to the prison crew, too. Odd stuff.
