CNN Breaking News

Lawrence Russell Brewer has been executed for his involvement in the murder of James Byrd, who died while being dragged behind a truck in Texas 13 years ago.

Brewer and two other white men kidnapped the 49-year-old black man on the night of June 7, 1998. They chained him by the ankles to the back of a pickup truck and dragged him for 3½ miles down a country road near Jasper, Texas. Byrd was decapitated.

During his trial, Brewer tearfully contended that he was a bystander, not a killer.
