Carey Dale Grayson was executed with nitrogen gas after a final explosion when his last meal was revealed

A foul-mouthed Alabama inmate who killed a hitchhiker with his teenage friends enjoyed an extravagant last meal before being put to death by a controversial execution method Thursday night.

It was announced that 50-year-old Carey Dale Grayson died at 18.33 local time after breathing nitrogen through a mask as part of the state’s new nitrogen hypoxia application method.

But he didn’t go quietly, pointing the microphone at Grayson’s face for his final words and telling the prison warden, ‘You should go away.’ AL.com reports.

The inmate was seen pointing at least the middle finger of his left hand as he continued to loudly shout something toward where state officials usually sit, which appears to be the middle of the viewing room at the William C Holman Correctional Institution.

Grayson was sentenced to death for the grisly murder and bludgeoning of 37-year-old hitchhiker Vickie DeBlieux in 1994, when he was just 19 and his co-defendants were under 18.

He chose not to eat breakfast or lunch, instead eating only coffee and Mountain Dew. But for his last meal, Grayson had a Mountain Dew Blast with a seafood platter, soft tacos, beef burrito, tostada, fries, and guacamole.

The gas then began to flow at 6.12pm and Grayson was then heard gasping.

Carey Dale Grayson, 50, was executed using nitrogen gas in Alabama on Thursday.

Grayson was seen pointing his middle finger at least at his left hand as he continued to loudly shout something toward where government officials usually sit, which appears to be the middle of the viewing room at William C Holman Correctional Facility.

He was also seen lifting his head and shaking it from side to side, and at around 6.14pm he lifted both legs off the stretcher.

But soon Grayson’s movements began to slow down, with his breathing breathing periodically over the next few minutes.

But Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner John Hamm said the moves were ‘pure demonstration’ and noted that his later concussions were inconsistent with nitrogen gas executions.

Prosecutors said DeBlieux was hitchhiking from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to visit his mother in Louisiana when Grayson and three teenage friends, Kenny Loggins, Trace Duncan and Louis Mangione, approached him on Interstate 59. The Montgomery Advertiser reports.

They had pulled him into a wooded area, claiming they were going to change vehicles, when the four men beat him, stomped on him and kicked him to death.

Testimony shows that one of the suspects even choked DeBlieux in an attempt to kill him before throwing him off a cliff.

His last words were said to have been ‘Okay, I’m going to party’. According to WVTM.

The teenagers then returned to the scene of the crime and dismembered his body by slashing him at least 180 times, removing part of one of his lungs and amputating all his fingers.

Prosecutors said they were linked to the crime after Mangione showed one of DeBlieux’s fingers to friends.

He was pronounced dead at William C Holman Prison at 18.33 local time.

While Grayson was sentenced to death, the death sentences of others involved in the crime were commuted to life imprisonment in 2005, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to execute a person for a crime committed when they were a minor.

His lawyers made a last-ditch effort Tuesday to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

They said this ‘raises issues of national importance’ in states that allow the death penalty, ‘about whether the Eighth Amendment prohibits strangulation of a conscious prisoner and whether a state’s refusal to prevent conscious asphyxiation through a new method of execution adds terror and suffering to the violation.’ of the Eighth Amendment.’

The method involves placing a breathing gas mask over the prisoner’s face to replace breathable air with pure nitrogen gas, causing death due to lack of oxygen.

But when the state executed Alan Eugene Miller, 59, and Kenneth Eugene Smith, 58, earlier this year, they were both seen shaking and shivering on a gurney for nearly two minutes as nitrogen entered their systems.

Both men were conscious because their bodies were reacting to the procedure, attorney John Palombi noted in his filing.

‘I submit to the court that being conscious and suffocating for a while constitutes terrorism, which is added to this protocol that does not need to be present, which is also accepted by the fact that the state is willing to do so if requested. ‘Give Mr. Grayson a sedative,’ he wrote, According to NBC News.

Grayson’s lawyers had argued that the new form of execution violated the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution.

But Alabama’s deputy attorney general, Robert Overing, disagreed, saying nitrogen hypoxia is not the same as asphyxiation.

“It’s really apples and oranges, trying to use the term ‘suffocation’ in this way to evoke a fear and pain that doesn’t exist,” he argued.

The Supreme Court denied the request Thursday, hours before Grayson was to die.

Meanwhile, protesters continued to write, hoping Alabama Governor Kay Ivey would stop the execution.

Them shared a petition This claim claimed that Grayson had a traumatic childhood due to the loss of his mother at a young age and neglect from his father, which encouraged his addiction to drugs and alcohol at an early age.

The report also claimed that the prisoner suffered from bipolar disorder, and stated that prosecutors argued that the other defendants were ‘if not more’ guilty than Grayson.

‘It would be unjust and unjust to allow him to be executed while the other three are serving life sentences,’ they said.

But Ivey appeared to stand by her decision not to intervene following Grayson’s death.

‘Nearly 30 years ago, Vicki DeBlieux’s journey to her mother’s home, and ultimately her life, was horribly cut short by Carey Grayson and three other men,’ he said.

“He sensed something was wrong, he tried to escape, but instead he was brutally tortured and killed,” the governor said.

‘Even after Mr. Grayson’s death, his crimes against Ms. DeBlieux were heinous, unimaginable, had no regard for human life, and were unspeakably cruel. An execution via nitrogen hypoxia is no match for the death and dismemberment that Ms. DeBlieux experienced.

‘I pray for their loved ones that they continue to find closure and healing.’

State’s Attorney Steve Marshall added: ‘Grayson and his accomplices brutally murdered and dismembered a complete stranger.

‘It takes a truly ruthless beast to commit this kind of crime,’ Marshall said, adding: ‘Justice was served tonight.

‘My prayer for Vickie’s family is that they will find solace in the State of Alabama and finally serve justice for their heartbreaking loss,’ he said. ‘And my hope is that one day it won’t take thirty years for other victims of violent crimes to get justice.’
