James Osgood, 55, was pronounced dead at 6:35 p.m. CDT following a lethal injection at a south Alabama prison, authorities said.

An Alabama man is scheduled to be executed Thursday after dropping his appeals and saying he doesn’t want to keep “wasting everybody’s time” and money.

While Osgood initially denied killing Tracy Wilemon, he eventually confessed to police, telling them he remembered "seeing the fear in her eyes."
