LETHAL INJECTION CHALLENGE
   Stay of execution sought for Alabama death row inmate
  
   MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Attorneys for Alabama death row inmate
Darrell Grayson filed a motion yesterday asking to stay his
execution which is scheduled for July 26.
   Attorneys say they're concerned that the state's method of
lethal injection causes "excruciating pain."
   Lawyers for another death row inmate, Aaron Jones, also filed a
motion yesterday with the U-S- Supreme Court asking to stay his
execution.
   Jones is scheduled to die Thursday, but asks that the execution
be postponed at least until Grayson's challenge to lethal injection
is heard.
   Grayson was convicted in the 1980 rape and killing of an elderly
woman in her Montevallo home and is one of a half-dozen inmates who
have filed lethal injection challenges in the Montgomery federal
court.
   U-S- District Judge Keith Watkins has indicated a June 26
hearing on Grayson's lethal injection challenge is possible and has
given attorneys a timetable to submit briefs.
   The constitutionality of Alabama's method of execution by lethal
injection has not been decided by the courts.

This infuriates me to no end....This is absurd...This thug raped and murdered an elderly woman for crying out loud.  This woman is no longer with us but if we could talk to her about pain.  She could tell us how this sick thug raped her then killed her.  This madness has got to stop.  This man's victim is being victimized again as is her family.  Does this ever end for the victims and their families?  I ask because my family and I are going through our legal system now.  Our trial is this month & we have already had to go for a preliminary trial, to hearing where the defense filed a motion that his client be tried as a juvenile which was denied at another trip to the courthouse.  I just find this attempt to avoid the death penalty outrageous.  If you are found guilty by a jury of your peers, there is DNA evidence and eyewitnesses that are creditable & prove you're guilty without any doubt you should serve the full sentence including death.  This thug is lucky that our law doesn't say you must die in the same manner in which your victim did.  I just want to scream at someone.  The victims of these thugs don't get years to beg for their life or defend themselves.  The thugs sentence innocent people to death everyday.  What about their freaking rights of their victims???  What about the rights of the victims' families??  We have to deal with the horrific death of our loved one, the trials, the motions to lower their charges, and parole hearings.  We have to re-live the day we lost our loved one over and over again.  There is no end in sight for us...It's a series of freaking injections, they aren't being beat, raped, stabbed, shot, set on fire, chopped up, buried, or dumped like so many victims have been done.  Give these thugs have had their appeals and they've been upheld the sentences imposed on them should be carried out to the FULLEST....It's the law of our land and if you didn't want to die you should have thought about that before you raped and killed a woman......UUUGGGHHHH...This really gets my blood boiling...Does this make any one as anger as it does me???
