Berry is the second U.S. inmate executed since the Supreme Court upheld Kentucky's lethal injection procedure in April. His appeals were denied by the high court and he was put to death by injection at 6:15 p.m. CDT Wednesday.

Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps says Berry told him he had no remorse and that "he felt he had served 21 years and that's enough."
