Danny Rolling is executed for Gainesville killings

STARKE - Danny Rolling, the man who murdered five University of Florida students and plunged the city of Gainesville into panic in the summer of 1990, was executed tonight.

The governor's office said Rolling, 52, died around 6:13 p.m.

Rolling didn't give a last word just before he died. Instead he sang a hymn in his haunting Southern drawl. Rolling, who had a Pentecostal advisor minister to him before his execution, repeatedly sang: ``None greater than thee, O Lord, none greater than thee.''

The song also made a reference out of the New Testament book of Corinthians, about about seeing ``through a glass now darkly.''

About 15 members of the victims' families watched the execution, some stone-faced, some shaking their heads, and some grimacing and rubbing their eyes.

The five victims, students who had just arrived at UF after the summer break and were preparing for classes, were mutilated and some of the women sexually assaulted.

Rolling died after a final appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court was unsuccessful.

He pleaded guilty in 1990 to the murders of Sonja Larson, 18, Christi Powell, 17, Crista Hoyt, 18, and Tracy Paules and Manny Taboada, both 23.

During the afternoon today, about 200 people gathered outside Florida State Prison, about evenly divided between pro and anti-death penalty advocates.

Supporters of the death penalty -- among them friends of the victims -- began cheering and whistling when news that the execution had occurred leaked out.

Opponents of the death penalty stood in a circle began singing ``Amazing Grace.''

''It's just justice for the victims. It doesn't bring them back, but at least they know he's going to meet his maker,'' said Tonya Wilson, 34, who was to be the roommate of victims Sonja Larson and Christi Powell. Wilson had not had a chance to move in yet before her fellow students were slain.

Re: Danny Rolling is executed for Gainesville killings
Yesterday at 6:13 pm.. est Danny Rolling was executed. This man slaughtered 5 young adults in Gainesville FL at university 15 years ago. I myself remember this as a co worker of mine had a daughter going to school at University there and rushed up there to bring her home.
He sat on our dime, on death row for over a decade. He found GOD. (most people can do the same, w/out going to prison).
The news talking heads chimed on about this execution throughout the 6 o'clock hour, into the 10 o'clock news. They showed the victims families, they showed, the protesters, the news... recited the hymn he sang as the poison flowed through his veins.

I personally feel they gave him way too much news time. (must have been a slow news day). For goodness sake he murdered 5 co-eds, and there is suspicion that he killled many more.

I say, when you execute these monsters of society, don't put it on the news.... giving them another 15 minutes of fame. Maybe just maybe at the bottom of the page on the news... a simple... Danny Rolling ... monster of society was put to death for his crimes....thats it. Nothing more.

While I'm on the subject... why the heck aren't we running these murderers through quicker...why should the monsters be given a decade on our tax dollar ? They should have a execution every hour on the hour, 24 hours a day. (ducks the eggs being thrown). Then how quick will the criminals be to kill. If the thought that they will promptly be put to death for their crime deters just one... from takin anothers life then it's well worth it.

As a mother to a young child taken away from this earth by a murderer, a common street gang banger bad A**....w/a gun showing off. I say why coddle them...why give them an anti anxiety shot before the execution so they don't feel angst before the lethal injection is administered, as this man stabbed to death 5 young adults, and put an entire community in fear...did he give these kids the option of an anti anxiety shot before he stabbed them and mutilated them ?? NO....why the hell should we care about his comfort ?

The media glorified him by giving him hours of air time, telling his life story, interviewing his family, and then showing his last interview. PFFFFFFFFFFFFT.... he doesnt deserve the fame ..yet the networks will make his life story into a freakin movie of the week, as others probably won't even remember his victims names.
