A judge has allowed Alabama to execute Carey Dale Grayson via nitrogen gas on November 21.

U.S. District Judge R. Austin Huffaker Jr. has ruled that Alabama can proceed with the nitrogen gas execution of Carey Dale Grayson on November 21. Grayson, convicted in the 1994 murder of Vickie Deblieux, argued the method is unconstitutionally cruel, but the judge stated he did not meet the legal burden for this claim. This execution will be Alabama's third using nitrogen gas, a method criticized for potentially not delivering a quick death. Grayson plans to appeal.
