Mark Allen Geralds, 58, was pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m. following a three-drug injection at Florida State Prison for the February 1989 murder of Tressa Pettibone. The Florida Supreme Court later vacated the sentence but affirmed the conviction, and Geralds was resentenced to death in 1992.

“To the people I’ve harmed, I’m sorry. To my family, know that I love you. I know where I’m going to. I’m ready to go home," were Nichols' last words, according to the Tennessee Department of Correction. Nichols was administered a lethal injection of pentobarbital minutes later and was declared dead at 10:39 a.m.
