Kimberly McCarthy Kimberly McCarthy, 52, was put to death by lethal injection at 6:37 p.m. Wednesday, making her one of a small number of women to have been executed. In her final statement, McCarthy did not mention her status as the 500th inmate to be executed or acknowledge Booth or her family. "This is not a loss. This is a win. You know where I'm going. I'm going home to be with Jesus. Keep the faith. I love you all," she said, while looking toward her witnesses - her attorney, her spiritual adviser and her ex-husband, New Black Panther Party founder Aaron Michaels.

Then, her chest moved up and down for another minute before she stopped breathing. Friends and family of Booth told reporters after the execution that they were not conscious that Texas had carried out it
