DONALD E. HARDING

'Donald E. Harding' (March 1, 1949 – April 6 1992) was convicted of the murders of Robert Wise and Martin Concannon. He was executed in 1992 by the State of Arizona by gas chamber. He became the first person to be executed in Arizona since 1976 when the death penalty was reinstated.
Harding's execution is also noteworthy in that his asphyxiation in the gas chamber took 11 minutes before death was finally confirmed. His death caused the reporters to be visibly upset, whilst the attorney general who was present vomited half way through the execution process.
