Alabama inmate James Osgood scheduled for execution April 24

James Osgood, a 55-year-old Alabama prisoner, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on April 24. He was convicted in 2014 for the 2010 murder of Tracy Lynn Brown and has since requested to complete his sentence. Osgood dropped his court appeals last summer, expressing a desire for death. He previously stated he felt guilty and believed he deserved the death penalty after admitting to the brutal murder and assault of Brown. Governor Kay Ivey authorized Osgood's execution, following a rare clemency decision for another inmate just weeks earlier. This marks a significant development in Alabama's handling of death row cases.
