    They asked her if she had any last words and she replied, “No”. They flipped the switch and Toni Jo Henry died at 12:12 p.m. at age 26. Her last request was that they let keep the crucifix in her left hand at burial.

    It's so sad that the guy they killed really didn't have to be shot, they could have just left him alone and just get in trouble for stealing his car. They could have just walked away from him, I feel bad for him because he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. As for Toni Jo , well she had a really bad beginning and a horrible ending. May God forgive her for this mess she got herself into, killing a person is just going to far! Another great story Lamont and thank you for this sad one. Stay safe out there and I'm always waiting for the next story from you. My name is Isabell and I live in Tucson Arizona, I'm a 60 yr old Hispanic lady who has found your channel and since I can't stop watching your videos. God bless you Lamont

I've yet to find my grandfather's grave, but I know he was buried there in 1918. Someday? Anyway, I remember my mom telling me about this murder & execution. The story I heard is that the man she (they) killed was brutally tortured before they killed him. Something like taking a pair of pliers to his private parts. If so, I think that was one of or the reason she never escaped the chair. Thanks for the story.

    The thought of shoplifting clothes never entered her mind? Drugs. Its a terrible thing.

    Love your channel and I enjoy your content you put out. I have a very interesting story here in Gainesville Georgia. I’m sure you have heard of Lake Lanier, how it was created and the tragedy of the people of Oscarville. But there’s another story that you would be interested in hearing. Get back to me and I’ll share it with you and see if you want to come to Gainesville Georgia to do a vlog.
