Alabama has scheduled Carey Grayson to be executed on 21 November 2024. In 1996, he became the last of four young males to be convicted of a 1994 murder. At the four separate trials, the prosecutor used mutually incompatible theories, claiming each defendant was the most culpable. In 2004, Alabama told the US Supreme Court that Carey Grayson was not the most culpable. His is the sole death sentence to survive on appeal. He was 19 at the time of the crime, emerging from a childhood marked by abuse, neglect and bipolar disorder. We urge the Governor to commute his sentence.
