Karla Faye Tucker was executed by lethal injection on February 3, 1998—the first woman to be executed in Texas since the Civil War. Her last meal was a banana, a peach, and a garden salad with ranch dressing.


Karla Faye Tucker had a shitty life and then she murdered two people with a pickaxe:

By age 12, she had turned to drugs and sex. When she was 14, she dropped out of school and followed her mother Carolyn, a rock groupie, into prostitution and began traveling with the Allman Brothers Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, and the Eagles.

After having spent the weekend doing drugs with her boyfriend, Danny Garrett, and their friends, Tucker and Garrett entered Jerry Dean's home around 3:00 am on Monday 14 June 1983 intending to steal Dean's motorcycle. Garrett struck Dean numerous times in the back of the head with a hammer he found on the floor. He began making a "gurgling" sound characteristic of this type of injury. Tucker wanted to "stop him from making that noise" and attacked him with a pickax.

Garrett left the bedroom again so as to continue loading Dean's motorcycle parts into his Ranchero. Tucker was once again left in the room and only then noticed a woman who had hidden under the bedcovers against the wall.

Things didn't end well for the woman under the bedcovers. The Eagles went on to win six Grammys and release the best-selling album of the 20th century.
