Larry Gene Bell (1948 – October 4, 1996) was a double murderer in Lexington County, South Carolina, who was electrocuted on October 4, 1996 for the murders of Sharon "Shari" Faye Smith and Debra May Helmick. Bell was especially infamous because he forced Smith to write a "Last Will and Testament" before he murdered her, and taunted her parents by telephone. |

Leo Alexander Jones (April 13, 1950 – March 24, 1998), a black man, was convicted of the sniper killing of white police officer Thomas Szafranski, 28, and sentenced to death. The crime occurred on May 23, 1981 in Jacksonville, Florida. The main witness against Jones later recanted. Two key officers in the case had left the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office under a cloud, and allegations that one of them beat Jones before he supposedly confessed had gained credence.
