Alabama Executes James Barber for 2001 Murder of Dorothy Epps

James Barber was executed by lethal injection in Alabama on Thursday evening, after being convicted and sentenced to death for the 2001 murder of 75-year-old Dorothy Epps. His execution marks the first in the state since February, when a pause in capital punishment was imposed due to a series of failed lethal injection attempts. Barber had requested to block his execution over fears of harm, but a federal appeals court panel rejected his request.
