VAUGHAN, Miss. Truth is, most of Earnest Lee Hargon’s people had been wiped out by the time he went to death row, and those who knew the family weren’t sorry to see him go. He got there by killing his cousin, the cousin’s wife and their 4-year-old boy – the one who was supposed to carry on the Hargon name – over getting cut out of a will. He told his wife about it over Valentine’s dinner five years ago, hours after the murders. “I got them, all three,” he said.

Even Earnest Lee died before he was supposed to, stabbed in a prison fight before the state could put him down.
