Flint Gregory Hunt

Flint Gregory Hunt (June 27, 1959 – July 2, 1997)[2] was an American murderer executed by the state of Maryland in 1997.

In June 1986, a Baltimore jury convicted Hunt of first-degree murder, and he was sentenced to death the following month.

Eleven years later, Hunt was executed by lethal injection at the Maryland State Penitentiary at the age of 38.

[4] On the evening of November 18, 1985, while out on patrol in Baltimore, Maryland, 25-year-old Vincent J. Adolfo, a police officer, spotted a Cadillac with a missing window that was covered with plastic.

He was held at a Tulsa jail before being extradited back to Maryland to face trial for murder.

In an interview with The Baltimore Sun, Hunt revealed he had chosen this method because he wanted his death to look more like murder, as well as maximizing the violence of his execution carried out by the state.

He later switched to lethal injection when he learned that his mother and bride wanted to witness the execution.

[2] On July 2, 1997, after making a final statement in which he said a prayer in Arabic, Hunt was executed via lethal injection at the Maryland Penitentiary.
