Sammie Felder was the 98th death row inmate executed in the United States in 1999, and the 598th since the Supreme Court upheld the death penalty in 1976. He was interviewed on November 10, a little over a month before his execution. Felder was 54 years old and had spent 24 years on death row for the 1975 murder of a paraplegic during a robbery. He was the last person to be executed in the United States in the 20th century.
