In his final statement, which was shared withby the state corrections department, Tisius repeatedly apologized and said that he had hoped to"have made things right."
"I really did try to become a better man," Tisius continued."I really tried hard to give as much as I could to as many as I could. I tried to forgive others as I wish to be forgiven. And I pray that God will forgive those who condemn me. Just as He forgave those who condemned Him."I am sorry. And not because I am at the end. But because I truly am sorry. And I need to say that I love you Truffle.
Both Bulington and Vance are serving life sentences, and Tisius was sentenced to the death penalty in July 2010. But his lawyers had attempted several appeals, pointing to Tisius' young age at the time of the killings and his history of neglect as a child. According to AP's report, Tisius was homeless by his early teens.
