SD officials: Moeller to be executed Tuesday
DIRK LAMMERS,Associated Press
• SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) -- A man convicted in the 1990 slaying of a 9-year-old girl is set to die by lethal injection Tuesday, the state Department of Corrections announced Saturday.
• The execution of Donald Moeller, 60, will be the second within a month in a state where executions are rare. Moeller's will bring to 18 the number of executions in the state or Dakota Territory since 1877, and just the fourth since 1913.
• Moeller is scheduled be executed at approximately 10 p.m. Tuesday at the state penitentiary in Sioux Falls, the same site of Eric Robert's Oct. 15 lethal injection.
• Moeller's attorney, Mark Marshall, declined comment on Saturday. Attorney General Marty Jackley did not immediately return telephone calls seeking comment.
• Authorities say Moeller kidnapped Becky O'Connell from a Sioux Falls convenience store, drove her to a secluded area near the Big Sioux River, then raped and killed her. Her naked body was found the next day; she had been stabbed and her throat was slashed.
• The girl's mother, Tina Curl, plans to drive with her husband to Sioux Falls from New York state to witness the execution.
• Moeller fought his conviction and sentence for years, but in July he said he was ready to accept death as the consequence of his actions.
