Oba Chandler execution brings closure to some family members of Chandler and victims

At 4:25 p.m. yesterday Oba Chandler was executed at the Florida State Prison near Starke. The standard array of protestors and patrol gathered outside, but as Florida's 89.1, WUFT-FM's Catherine Awasthi reports, one woman standing just outside the area roped off for supporters came for one thing, closure.
