Alabama Executes Carey Grayson in Nation's Third Nitrogen Gas Execution for 1994 Hitchhiker Murder
Nov 22, 2024, 12:51 AM
Alabama has executed Carey Dale Grayson, 50, convicted of the 1994 murder of a female hitchhiker, marking the nation's third execution using nitrogen gas. The execution took place on Thursday evening at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Alabama, after the Supreme Court declined to intervene. This is Alabama's sixth execution in 2024 and the state's third use of nitrogen hypoxia, a method that involves death by inhalation of nitrogen gas and has faced criticism for potentially causing severe suffering. Amnesty International condemned the execution, noting that while most of the world has moved away from the death penalty, Alabama continues to employ this practice.
