Cromartie's lawyers recently made unsuccessful appeals for DNA testing of evidence they say could exonerate him.
Ryan W. MillerThis undated file photo made available by the Georgia Department of Corrections, shows inmate Ray Jefferson Cromartie in custody. Georgia has executed Cromartie who was convicted in the 1994 killing of a convenience store clerk. Officials say 52-year-old Cromartie was pronounced dead at 10:59 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2019, after an injection of pentobarbital at the state prison in Jackson.
Cromartie and Corey Clark asked Thaddeus Lucas to drive them to the convenience store early on April 10, 1994 – days after Cromartie had wounded a different store clerk in a separate shooting, prosecutors say. However, attorneys recently filed a statement from Lucas in federal court saying he overhead Clark take credit for killing Slysz.
In a statement after the execution, Cromartie's attorney Shawn Nolan called it"so sad and frankly outrageous" that the DNA tests were denied.
