Holland told WTVM TV news in Columbus, GA, before the execution that he has been barred from viewing tonight’s execution because he was charged in 2022 with violating a custody order by allowing Kamarie to go with her mother, who did not have custody at the time. At 6:10 p.m., the curtain to the execution window closed.
