Donnie Cleveland Lance, 66, received a lethal injection at the state
prison in Jackson.
The warden left the execution chamber at 8:54 p.m. Records from previous executions show that the lethal drug generally begins flowing within a minute or two of the warden's exit.
Lance went to the home, kicked in the front door and shot Wood in the front and back with a shotgun and then beat Joy Lance to death with the butt of the weapon, according to a Georgia
Supreme Court summary of the case.
