Wife of condemned inmate distraught

Prison inmate James chambers died quietly overnight, surrounded by anguish outside the execution chamber. As Darlene Chambers sobbed uncontrollably and pounded on the glass of the death penalty chamber, a witness in another section, presumably a family member of victim Jerry Oestricker, shouted, “Now you know how it feels.” Mrs. Chambers cries filled the Potosi prison and the normally-quiet chamber long after her husband was pronounced dead at 12:05. He shot Oestricker during a bar fight in Arnold in 1982.
