Oscar Ray Bolin Jr., a serial killer convicted of murdering three young women in separate incidents in the Tampa Bay area in 1986, was executed in Florida on Thursday night, minutes after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his final appeal. Bolin, 53, was scheduled to die at the state prison in Starke at 6 p.m., but the Supreme Court took until almost 10 p.m. to finally deny a stay of execution, reports the Tampa Bay Times. Bolin was injected with a lethal combination of chemicals beginning at 10:05 p.m. and was pronounced dead at 10:16 p.m., the paper said.
