美国南部乔治亚州星期五凌晨处死了一名犯人,这名死刑犯已经被关押了34年,美国最高法院拒绝延缓对他的处决。

约翰·韦恩·康纳尔在乔治亚州杰克逊市的州立监狱里接受了注射死刑。

60岁的康钠尔原定星期四晚上被处死,但当时上诉程序还在进行。

康纳尔1982年晚上喝酒后跟朋友J.T.怀特发生争执,把怀特打死,因此被定罪。

康纳尔是乔治亚州今年被执行死刑的第六个人,是该州现行死刑法实施以来人数最多的一年。

The southern U.S. state of Georgia executed a man early Friday morning after the U.S. Supreme Court denied a stay of execution for the convict who had been on death row for 34 years.

John Wayne Conner received a lethal injection at the state prison in Jackson, Georgia.

The 60-year-old Conner was scheduled to be put to death Thursday evening, but the appeals process was still under way.

Conner was convicted for fatally beating his friend J.T. White during an argument after a night of drinking in 1982.

Conner's execution is the sixth in Georgia this year, a record under the current death penalty law.
