Grayson was convicted with three other men for the brutal slaying and mutilation of 37-year-old Vicki Lynn Deblieux.
Carey Grayson, now 49, will be put to death in November 2024. It will be 30 years after Vicki Deblieux's death. Alabama is set to execute Carey Dale Grayson for the 1994 brutal slaying and mutilation of a hitchhiker in Jefferson County on Thursday evening, making it the state’s sixth execution in 2024.
It would be the sixth execution by Alabama this year – the other three by lethal injection – and the most in a single year in more than a decade. All of the bones in Deblieux’s face and head were broken, and all but one tooth was missing. She was identified by an old X-ray of her spine.Although different versions of who was the “ringleader” of the attack at their trials, Grayson, Loggins and Duncan were all convicted and Jefferson County Circuit Judge Mike McCormickThe judge sentenced Mangione to life in prison without parole. But years later, Loggins and Duncan had their sentences changed to life in prison after the 2003 U.S.
Though, the younger Deblieux said he understands the legal reasons why the others are not on death row. Vicki had two daughters who would probably have been in their late teens at the time she was killed, Mike Deblieux said. In its appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and request to halt the execution, attorneys with the Middle District of Alabama Federal Public Defenders Office representing Grayson say the case has national significance.
