Don't ask me why, but I find reading these last statements fascinating. When I find one that's remarkable, I crossreference the name of the condemned on Google to read about the circumstances of the crime. Generally, the sites with clarkprosecutor.org has the best info along with a picture of the executed murderer.
Interesting reading.

I guess that puts you on a higher moral standard than me; who listens to CVRs of planes before they crash..

For instance, this one. After reading his last words, see what he did to deserve death at the hands of the State.
Googley goodness.

Wow, Totem, that is one grim website. 
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
In flight school we had a class on crashes and the circumstances surrounding them. One of the portions of that class was listening to transmissions of various pilots who said something to the controller or radio base before that made a smoking hole in the ground. The one that particularly stands out is a radio tranmission from a Marine who had his tailboom shot off at around 4,000 feet. He was sobbing about he didn't want to die, and would someone please tell his wife and children he loved them? There was more crying over the radio when all of a sudden you hear someone break in over the frequency and say...
"Shut up and die like a Marine!"
You hear this *gulp* from the dying man and not another word is spoken. A few moments later you hear a bunch of voices telling the controller where the wreckage is and to send out Dustoff to check for survivors. Harsh stuff.
The guy giving the class said the most often spoken last words on the CVR is "Ahhh, ****." That true?

I read the first fifteen and got bored.

Nah, you gotta search for the good ones, FleaJo2. Like this one. And then read about what happened to get him to Death Row. That's the good stuff. Slitting the throat of a wheelchair bound crack junkie on the way to get her a fix? Priceless!

Or like this guy who spent his life finding and assaulting homosexuals and then gets mad at Texas for killing him after he kills someone himself. Gotta love the irony.

And why speak in French? He might as well have whistled La Marseillaise for as much as any Texan would understand what he said.

These last words are what make these so interesting, see? Just like the anti-death penalty people would have you believe, these convicts want their audiences to believe they are innocent. Listen to what William Chappell has to say before they inject him:
"Jane, Grace and all of you all, I know you think I did this, and I'm sure you think this is wonderful in you eyes. But, let me tell you something, there were two DNA tests run and none matched me. I wanted a third, but that never happened. Three people at different times confessed to killing these people - your parents. They did not know me. My request is that you get yourselves in church and pray for forgiveness because you are murdering me. I did not kill anyone in my life. If you will look at your house and the police report, there are several bullet patterns shot into the West wall over the bed and the East wall and North wall and your sister was in the front bedroom while 30 shots were fired. There's no way in hell she would have laid in that bed. If you think I did this, you need to think again. There were three people in the house and have confessed to it. Larry Ashworth in Fort Worth killed seven people. All I was asking for was a DNA and I could not get it. But get in church and get right with God. Jane, you know damn well I did not molest that kid of yours. You are murdering me and I feel sorry for you. Get in church and get saved. I really don't know what else to tell you."
Then you read the circumstances surrounding his insistence of innocence about the murder and the offhand reference at the end of his statement about the molestation.
"Chappell killed his former girlfriend's family in retaliation for testifying against him in an indecency trial. In May 1987, Chappell was found guilty of one count of indecency with a 3 year old child and was sentenced to five years confinement. Chappell was released on bond pending appeal. After the indecency trial, the family of the victim congregated outside the courtroom. When Chappell came out, he informed the victim's grandmother, Martha Lindsey, that "it wasn't over yet" and that he "would get her for that." According to testimony from his wife (received in exchange for a probated sentence), in January 1988 Chappell was driven to the residence of Martha Lindsey, with gasoline intending to burn their house down. He was unsuccessful. Then on May 3, 1988, his wife again drove Chappell to the residence. He was dressed in dark clothing, makeup and a wig. Chappell also had a black ski mask, brown gloves and a nylon tote bag containing a walkie-talkie, the 9-mm gun, a pistol, the silencer, clips for the guns, a crowbar, and wire cutters. 15 to 20 minutes later, Chappell contacted Hayes by walkie-talkie and she picked him up. When he got into the van, Chappell stated that he had "shot Jane, her mother, and her daddy." He also said that he had taken some money to make it look like a robbery. The pair then drove back to Tennessee, where they disposed of as much evidence as possible."
Quite a different picture than the one Chappell would have you believe.

This guy took too long with his last words so they killed him while he was still speaking, lol.

Defiant to the end.
Heh, some of the details of Monty Delk's life in prison:
"Monty Delk was one of death row's most notorious inmates. Prison officials said that he showered without removing his coveralls or using soap, and that his personal odor was so offensive, he had to be segregated from the other inmates so as to avoid making them ill. In interviews, he claimed to be over 129 years old, having previously been a district judge and a submarine commander.

pretty much.
I think only once was a person heard screaming. Surprisingly most seem pretty calm and collective.
