Jackson, GA--
Georgia prison officials have executed the first prisoner since 2007.
William Earl Lynd died by lethal injection.
He was pronounced dead at 7:51 pm Tuesday at the state prison near Jackson.
He was convicted in the 1988 killing of his girlfriend, Ginger Moore. Police say Lynd later used the same gun to kill a woman in Ohio.
The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles Monday turned down his bid for clemency Monday. His lawyers also Monday asked the Georgia Supreme Court for a stay of execution. However, it's not clear if the court will even make a ruling.
He would be the first condemned person to die since the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that death by lethal injection is legal.
