An Alabama inmate scheduled to be put to death Thursday by lethal injection for the shooting death of his friend's father urged young people to take a pause before making life-altering mistakes.
Alabama is scheduled to execute Casey McWhorter, 49, for the Feb. 18, 1993, death of Edward Lee Williams, 34. Prosecutors said McWhorter, who was three months past his 18th birthday at the time of the killing, conspired with two younger teens, including Williams' 15-year-old son, to steal money and other items from Williams’ home and then kill him.
