He was sentenced to life imprisonment for shooting his girlfriend, Mira Wright, in 1985. Already in prison, he beat his cellmate Joseph Handspike to death with a board studded with nails, for which he was sentenced to death. The defense insisted on Warren's mental retardation, but in 2000, three doctors recognized him sane and competent. They later revised their verdict, and the execution was postponed. However, on January 27, 2015, Warren Hill was still executed by lethal injection. The execution was sharply criticized by the European Union and human rights organizations. It is noteworthy that each US state applies not only its own legislation, but also the criteria for recognizing insanity and incapacity, and in Georgia they are one of the most stringent.
