MONTGOMERY — Attorney General Troy King requested execution dates Friday for three Alabama death row inmates, a move that followed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that cleared the way for use of lethal injection.
King said he has asked the Alabama Supreme Court to set execution dates for death row inmates Jimmy Dill, convicted in Jefferson County, Phillip Hallford of Dale County and Willie McNair of Henry County.
King said the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in a Kentucky case Wednesday removes any question as to the constitutionality of Alabama's lethal injection protocol.
In a statement, King said his office is "committed to moving swiftly to deliver justice for the victims who suffered at the hands of these wicked criminals."
