Michigan city - Gerald Bivins, who murdered a clergyman at an Indiana highway rest stop 10 years ago, was put to death by lethal injection yesterday after consuming a final meal cooked by his mother, prison officials said.
Bivins' mother attempted suicide at her hotel shortly after sharing a last meal with her son at the prison, according to Department of Corrections spokesperson, Ms Pam Patterson. Ms Jeanne Bivins (61) was taken to a Michigan City hospital where she was treated for an overdose of a prescription drug. Bivins (41), had waived all appeals and said he wanted to die.
