Robert Comer never flinched Tuesday morning as he was injected with a lethal cocktail of drugs that put him to death. Comer took a picture of his daughter into the death chamber with him and seemed defiant as he smiled and maintained eye contact with his witnesses as drugs coursed through his body. His last words were "Go Raiders!" and with that, his smile slowly faded until he passed out.
Nearly 20 years ago Comer was sentenced to death for the brutal killing of a Florida man at a campsite at Apache Lake. He is also serving 339 years for rape and kidnapping.
On February 23, 1987, Comer and his girlfriend, Juneva Willis, were at a campground near Apache Lake.
They invited Larry Pritchard, who was at the campsite next to theirs, to have dinner and drinks with them.
Around 9:00 p.m., Comer shot Pritchard in the head, killing him. He and Willis then stole Pritchard's belongings.
Around 11:00 p.m., Comer and Willis went to a campsite occupied by Richard Brough and Tracy Andrews.
Comer stole their property, hogtied Brough to a car fender, and then raped Andrews in front of Brough.
Comer and Willis then left the area, taking Andrews with them, but leaving Brough behind.
Andrews escaped the next morning and ran for 23 hours before finding help.
