Man aged 83 oldest inmate put to death in modern US history
Walter Moody, an 83-year-old man, was executed on Thursday by the US state of Alabama, making him US' oldest inmate put to death since the Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. He replaced John Nixon, who was put to death aged 77 in 2005. Moody was convicted of a 1989 serial bombing spree.
