twitterList of Nevada Volunteer Executions Since 1979
Friday, March 29, 1996 | 11:59 a.m.
1979: Jesse Walter Bishop, 46, was executed Oct. 22 for killing a newlywed man in the El Morocco hotel-casino in Las Vegas during a robbery attempt. Bishop, the last man to die in Nevada's gas chamber, refused all appeals and insisted that he be executed.
1985: Carroll Cole, 47, was executed Dec. 6 for killing Marie Cushman in Las Vegas. Cole was the first to die by injection and, like Bishop, wanted to be executed.
1989: William Thompson, 51, was executed June 19 for killing a transient in Reno. Four days later, Sean Flanagan, 27, was executed for killing two men in Las Vegas. Both convicts asked to die.
1990: Thomas Baal was executed June 3 for killing a bus driver during a Las Vegas robbery. Baal also wanted to die, and resisted efforts by his family to appeal his sentence.
