Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has announced that the state will carry out its third death sentence using nitrogen gas on November 21. This marks the third instance in the country where nitrogen gas has been chosen as the method of execution, all of which have occurred in Alabama.
The upcoming execution is for Carey Dale Grayson, aged 49, who was convicted in the 1994 killing of 37-year-old Vickie Deblieux. Grayson was one of four teenagers involved in the crime.
