- James Elledge
Lethally Injected August 28, 2001
Convicted of killing Eloise Fitzner. James risked his own life to
save a prison guard during riots. He also tried to commit suicide
twice. He did not appeal his death sentence and thus
"volunteered" to be executed. He became the third such
volunteer since Washington State reinstated the death penalty.

- Jeremy Sagastegui
Lethally Injected October 13, 1998
Convicted for the killing of 2 women, Melissa Sarbacher and her friend
Lisa Vera-Acevado, and for the killing and sexual assault of Lisa's
three year old son. Jeremy pled guilty and waived all appeals. He
stated that he considered his execution a form of suicide.
Charles Rodman Campbell
Hanged May 27, 1994
Convicted of killing 2 women, Renae Wicklund, her neighbor Barbara and
Renae's nine year old daughter. Charles committed these murders while
serving a prison sentence for the sexual assault of Renae Wicklund. At
the time of the murders he was in work release. The state settled with
the victim's families for 2.3 million dollars, for failing to notify
the Wicklunds of Campbell's release status. Campbell
refused to cooperate with the execution. He had to be moved from his
cell using pepper spray and had to be forcibly strapped to a board so
that he could be hanged. It took prison officials 90 seconds to place
a hood on his head and to fix the noose before the trap door was
opened.
Westley Alan Dodd
Hanged January 4, 1993
Convicted for the sexual assault and killing of three boys. Westley
"volunteered" to be executed, meaning he did not appeal his
death sentence. In fact, Westley indicated that he wanted and desired
to be hanged to death because he had hanged one of his victims. His
was the first hanging in 25 years.
