Convicted Killer Executed in Oklahoma VOA News 30 Jan 2002 07:36 UTC 
Authorities in Oklahoma have executed a convicted killer who had spent nearly 15 years death row.
John Romano died by lethal injection for strangling, stabbing and robbing a jeweler in 1985. He also had received the death penalty in a separate conviction for the 1986 murder of a 63-year-old man.
Before his death, Romano asked for forgiveness from those people he wronged.
It was the state of Oklahoma's first execution this year. Romano's co-defendant in both cases, David Wayne Woodruff, is scheduled to be executed Thursday.
