randon Bernard, who was 18 when he took part in the murder of youth ministers Todd and Stacie Bagley in 1999, was killed by lethal injection on Thursday, December 10. Bernard, 40, is the ninth federal inmate to be put to death this year after a 17-year-long federal execution hiatus.
Brandon Bernard's final words, which were more than three minutes long, addressed the Bagley family, according to reporters covering the execution. "I'm sorry," Brandon said. "That's the only words that I can say that completely capture how I feel now and how I felt that day."
