   throughout the execution process.   
      
   About 30 witnesses watched him die. They included Hillsborough State   
   Attorney Suzy Lopez, who was a freshman in college when Rogers committed   
   his crimes.   
      
   A window curtain rose at 6 p.m., revealing Rogers lying on a gurney inside   
   the execution chamber. He blinked rapidly as he gazed at the ceiling. His   
   hair was short. He had a light gray beard.   
      
   A white sheet covered most of his body, swaying gently off his left side.   
   Intravenous lines pierced both his arms, which were secured to the gurney   
   with leather straps. Three men in suits stood nearby. One of them took   
   notes.   
      
   A lethal chemical cocktail began to flow two minutes later. At 6:03, his   
   eyes closed, and his mouth dropped open. At 6:06, the execution leader   
   moved toward Rogers. He touched his left eyelid, shook his shoulders and   
   shouted his name.   
      
   Rogers remained motionless. As the process continued, his face slowly   
   turned pale.   
      
   A woman in a white jacket and a medical mask entered the room. She shined   
   a light in Rogers’ eyes. She listened to his chest with a stethoscope. She   
   left, and the execution leader spoke: “The sentence in State of Florida   
   versus Inmate Glen Rogers was carried out at 6:16 p.m.”   
      
   It was unclear if Cribbs’ family was among those who witnessed the   
   execution.   
      
   Afterward, the family of Andy Jiles Sutton, one of four women Rogers is   
   believed to have killed, released a statement through the Department of   
   Corrections.   
      
   “Finally, after (Rogers) being in prison for the past 28 years, my family,   
   along with the other victims’ families will be able to have some type of   
   closure to the nightmare created by this monster,” wrote Randy Roberson,   
   Sutton’s son. “My mother along with the other victims will finally receive   
   the justice that they deserve.”
