Georgia inmate's execution was first video-recorded execution in almost 2 decades

(CBS/AP) JACKSON, Ga. - Andrew DeYoung, a Georgia man convicted of killing his parents and sister in suburban Atlanta, has been executed after the courts allowed what was likely the nation's first video-recorded execution in almost two decades.

The 37-year-old was put to death by lethal injection Thursday night at the state prison in Jackson after courts turned down his appeals.

He was pronounced dead at 8:04 p.m. DeYoung blinked his eyes and swallowed for about two minutes, then his eyes closed and he became still.

The execution was set for Wednesday, but was pushed back a day as the state tried to block the video recording. It was requested by another death row inmate seeking evidence of problems with Georgia's reconfigured lethal injection procedure.
