Robert C. Gleason, Jr became the last man to be executed by electric chair when he requested that over lethal injection.
Gleason chose that method rather than lethal injection after he was convicted of three separate murders, including strangling two fellow inmates and the homicide that landed him in prison to begin with.
Gleason had learned Irish culture and history while in prison and used the language in his last few moments on earth.
When asked if he had any final words Gleason stated “Put me on the highway to Jackson and call my Irish buddies. Pog mo thoin. God bless,” he said.
The translation of the Irish wording is “kiss my a--.”
