Aileen Wuornos, a hitchhiking prostitute who killed six men along Florida highways, was executed by injection today after dropping her appeals and firing her lawyers. Ms. Wuornos, 46, became the 10th woman executed in the United States since capital punishment resumed in 1977. Oklahoma has put three women to death; Florida and Texas have executed two each. In her final statement, Ms. Wuornos referred to Jesus and a blockbuster movie. "I'll be back like 'Independence Day' with Jesus, June 6, like the movie, big mother ship and all," Ms. Wuornos said.
