Despite his last tearful interview where
he claimed he was a born again and had killed one,not two men,Mark Asay
was killed at Florida State Prison in Raiford, Florida, for the 1987
murders of Robert Lee Booker and Robert McDowell.
The 53-year-old, who was the first white man executed in Florida for
killing a black man, was pronounced dead at 6.22pm.Media witnesses said
it took Asay around 11 minutes to die.
He had no last words.
He had been drinking and playing pool with his brother Robbie and friend Bubba McQuinn when they went into downtown Jacksonville to look for prostitutes.
At one point Asay noticed his brother Robbie talking to a black man, Booker, from the window of his truck.He became agitated and began shouting racial slurs.
McQuinn tried to calm him down but Asay shot Booker once in the stomach.According to court documents, when McQuinn asked why he'd shot Booker, the killer replied: "Because you've got to show a n***** who's boss."
The trio continued to search for prostitutes, and met with Robert McDowell, a Hispanic transvestite known as 'Renee Torres'.
Asay, who had white supremacist tattoos, acted as lookout as Renee and McQuinn engaged in a sexual act.
But he then dragged Renee from the car and shot the victim six times.
When asked why by McQuinn, he alleged that "the b**** had beat him out of ten dollars" once in a drug deal.
