John Brown was indicted by the Orleans Parish Grand Jury for the first degree murder of Omer Laughlin. The jury convicted Brown of first degree murder following the guilt phase of a bifurcated trial. After a sentencing hearing, the jury unanimously recommended the imposition of the death penalty. Judge Patrick Quinlan sentenced Brown to death.
Anna Hardeman, the driver of the vehicle in which Brown was riding at the time of his arrest, was also indicted for first degree murder. Although she was originally charged in the same bill of indictment that named Brown as a defendant, the prosecution severed the charges against her on the date that the case was called to trial, and announced that she would be tried separately. Shortly after Brown was convicted and sentenced to death, Hardeman pleaded guilty to the amended charge of accessory after the fact to first degree murder, and was sentenced to five years imprisonment at hard labor.
Execution:
On April 24, 1997, Brown was put to death by lethal injection at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. His final words were: "Let my baby sister know I love her and the rest of my family, for supporting me. I love you very much. I'm ready to go now."
As he felt the lethal drugs enter his system, Brown stated, "Wow!"
