John Brewer, who confessed to strangling his pregnant fiancee in 1987, was executed on March 3, 1993 in Arizona's new death chamber: lethal injection. His death ended his five-year effort to seek his execution as punishment for killing Rita Brier, who was 22 weeks pregnant when Brewer strangled her with a necktie. Unlike Harding, witnesses said he went peacefully.
