       Alabama death row inmate Casey McWhorter seeks delay of pending
       execution--
       Two appeals filed with U.S. Supreme Court and Alabama Supreme
       Court
       Tuesday, November 7th, 2023
       Attorneys for an Alabama death row inmate scheduled to face
       execution a week from Thursday have filed a series of appeals
       with the Alabama Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court.
       Attorneys for Casey McWhorter, convicted of capital murder in
       1994 for the murder of Edward Lee Williams in 1993, argue that
       the Nov. 16 timeline set for his execution violates state law
       because McWhorter received notice 29 days before the execution,
       instead of the 30 that normally precede it.
       “The Governor’s inadequate notice violates Mr. McWhorter’s
       constitutional rights to due process and equal protection,”
       McWhorter’s attorneys wrote in an appeal to the Alabama Supreme
       Court. “This Court should act to ensure it retains control over,
       and consistency in, its rulemaking power and exercises its
       supervisory authority over executions.”
       Gov. Kay Ivey announced in an Oct. 18 news release that she had
       set the time window for executing McWhorter between midnight
       Nov. 16 to 6am Nov. 17.

       ATMORE, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama inmate convicted of killing a man
       during a 1993 robbery when he was a teenager was executed
       Thursday by lethal injection.
       Casey McWhorter, 49, was pronounced dead at 6:56 p.m. at a
       southwest Alabama prison, authorities said. McWhorter was
       convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death for his role
       in the robbery and shooting death of Edward Lee Williams, 34, on
       Feb. 18, 1993.
       Prosecutors said McWhorter, who was three months past his 18th
       birthday at the time of the killing, conspired with two younger
       teenagers, including Williams’ 15-year-old son, to steal money
       and other items from Williams’ home and then kill him. The jury
       that convicted McWhorter recommended a death sentence by a vote
       of 10-2, which a judge, who had the final decision, imposed,
       according to court records. The younger teens — Edward Lee
       Williams Jr. and Daniel Miner, who was 16 — were sentenced to
       life in prison, according to court records.
       “It’s kind of unfortunate that we had to wait so long for
       justice to be served, but it’s been served,” the victim’s
       brother, Bert Williams, told reporters after the execution. He
       added that the lethal injection provided McWhorter a peaceful
       death unlike the violent end his brother endured.
