Execution of Carey Dale Grayson in Alabama
Carey Dale Grayson, convicted in the 1994 killing of a hitchhiker, cursed at the prison warden and made obscene gestures before being executed by nitrogen gas in Alabama. The victim's daughter criticized the decision to execute Grayson, citing society's failure to help him as a child. Governor Kay Ivey prayed for the victim's loved ones to find closure and healing.
