AG makes second plea for Hutcherson execution date
Attorney General Troy King has made a second request to the Alabama
Supreme Court to set an execution date for death row inmate Larry
Hutcherson, convicted in the 1992 murder of 89-year-old Irma Gray in
Mobile County.
King asked the court on June 27 to set an execution date. In a statement
Thursday, King said he has made a second request because the court hasn't
acted and Hutcherson hasn't made any move to block his execution.
It's not unheard of for the attorney general's office to make a 2nd
request for an execution date, a court spokeswoman said Thursday.
According to King, the elderly victim was "almost decapitated" when her
throat was cut and that she also was beaten and sodomized after Hutcherson
broke into her home. King said Hutcherson has exhausted his appeals.
"The citizens of this state, especially the family of Irma Gray, have the
right to the timely administration of Hutcherson's sentence," King said in
a statement.
