Alabama Execution News

Jamie Ray Mills,Lethal Injection,Federal Appeals Court

A federal appeals court on Tuesday declined to halt the upcoming execution of an Alabama man convicted in the beating deaths of an elderly couple during a 2004

robbery.

The three-judge panel denied stay requests in two different cases. One case argued that newly discovered evidence proved prosecutors concealed a plea deal with Mills’ wife to get her to testify against her husband. The other challenged aspects of the state’s lethal injection protocol. The state maintains there was no plea deal and submitted its own affidavits from the district attorney and his investigator.
