Lorain's Daniel Wilson in Executed in Lucasville

Alan Johnson is a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch and was a media witness to the execution.

The state changed its lethal injection procedure for this execution and those that follow, after a lawsuit claimed that condemned inmates may still feel pain.

Johnson says there was a longer wait after the sedating drugs were pumped in and that the warden shook Wilson to ensure he was completely out before the lethal drugs were administered.
