MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama attorney general's office is
urging the U.S. Supreme Court to deny a stay of execution for
convicted murderer Thomas Arthur, who faces lethal injection next
week.
Arthur has waited too late to challenge Alabama's method of
execution and the high court should not block his execution,
Assistant Attorney General Clay Crenshaw said in a court filing
Thursday.
Arthur, 65, was sentenced to death for the 1982 killing of Troy
Wicker, 35, of Muscle Shoals. His execution is set for next
Thursday at Holman prison near Atmore.
