Georgia is planning to execute it’s first inmate of the year. An inmate called the “stocking strangler,” who convicted of raping and killing older women. Carlton Gary, who is 67 years old, was convicted of three counts each of malice murder, rape and burglary for the 1977 deaths of 89-year-old Florence Scheible, 69-year-old Martha Thurmond and 74-year-old Kathleen Woodruff. He was also said to have attacked nine elderly women in Columbus in late 1977 and early 1978.
His execution is set for Thursday by lethal injection at the state prison in Jackson.
