13 September 2010 :

Cal Coburn Brown, 52, white, was executed at the Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.
It is the 1st execution since 2001. Brown's execution marked the 1st time the state has used the single-drug method of execution. Brown was administered five grams of the sodium thiopental intravenously.
Brown admitted he raped, tortured and murdered Holly Washa, 21, white, in May 1991. Brown complained about sentencing disparities, citing the case of Green River Killer Gary L. Ridgway, who was sentenced to life in prison for the murders of 48 women after he cooperated with authorities, and Wai-Chiu "Tony" Ng, who could someday be released from prison despite his role in the deaths of 13 people in Seattle's 1983 Wah Mee massacre.
'I only killed one victim,' he said. 'I cannot really see that there is true justice.
About 2 dozen demonstrators gathered outside the Walla Walla penitentiary to protest the execution. Brown becomes the 1st condemned inmate to be put to death in Washington this year and the 5th overall since the state resumed capital punishment in 1993.
Brown becomes the 38th condemned inmate to be put to death this year in the USA and the 1226th overall since the nation resumed executions on January 17, 1977.
