The state of New Mexico conducted its first execution in 41 years, putting Terry Clark to death on Tuesday night.

Clark was convicted of the kidnap, rape and murder of a 9-year-old girl. He died by lethal injection.

Clark's lawyers had sought an appeal even though he wanted to die. The State Supreme Court declined to stop the execution.
