D.C. sniper's execution met with grief, bitterness - CNN.com

Bob Meyers, whose 53-year-old brother, Dean, was shot dead while pumping gas in Virginia, called Tuesday’s execution surreal.

“Watching the life be sapped out of somebody intentionally was very different and an experience I’d never had,” he said on CNN’s “Larry King Live.”

“I’d watched my mother die of natural causes, but that was very different.”

He said he might have attained some closure, “but I would say that pretty much was overcome just by the sadness that the whole situation generates in my heart.”
