There are several cases that brings up the 'nature or nurture' debate. Female serial killer Ailene Wunous, who was executed in Florida in 2002, had her natural father die in prison. Although he was not executed, he was a life-time criminal. At the time of his suicide (in his prison cell) he was serving several life terms for child molestation. Serial killer Gerald Gallego, who was executed in Nevada*, was a second generation death row inmate. Gallego's father Gerald Albert Gallego was sent to Mississippi's death row for the murder of two police officers. The elder Gallego had the privilege to be the first man executed in Mississippi's gas chamber after the state updated from the electric chair. Unfortunately the prison staff gave Gallego a less-than-lethal dose of cyanide. The prisoner coughed and weazed for an eternal 45 minutes before the correct dose was finally administered and Gallego died shortly after. *Gallego (the son) also had a death sentence in California.
