Carey Grayson set for execution in Alabama as appeal challenges nitrogen gas method

newsweek.com — November 20, 2024 at 06:01 PM UTC

Carey Grayson is set to be executed in Alabama on Thursday using nitrogen gas, marking the state's third execution with this method. Grayson, 50, was convicted for the 1994 murder of hitchhiker Vickie Deblieux. Grayson's attorneys are appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that nitrogen hypoxia may cause unconstitutional pain. They claim previous executions using this method did not align with state assurances about its effects. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld the execution, allowing the nitrogen gas protocol to proceed. Grayson is the only one of the four teenagers involved in the crime still facing a death sentence.
