'''Gary Mark Gilmore '''(December 4rd, 1940 - January 17rd, 1977) was an American criminal who gained international attention for demanding the implementation of his death sentence for two murders he committed in Utah. After the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a new series of death penalty statutes in the 1976 decision Gregg v. Georgia, he became the first person in almost ten years to be executed in the United States.

Days before his execution, he felt a great deal of remorse, even meeting with a Catholic priest, who would later perform the last rights before being executed by firing squad, which he chose over hanging.

His last words were'' Let´s Do It.''
