Inmate Andrew Grant DeYoung To Be Executed Today For Killing Family
ATLANTA -- A death-row inmate convicted of the 1993 slayings of his parents and his 14-year-old sister in suburban Atlanta is set to be executed.
Andrew Grant DeYoung is set to be put to death Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Prosecutors said DeYoung planned the killings so he could inherit his parents' estate and start a business. But DeYoung's 16-year-old brother escaped and went to a neighbor's house for help, and spotted DeYoung in the shadows.
He will be the second inmate executed in Georgia since the state changed execution drugs. The state was forced to switch after it surrendered its supply of sodium thiopental amid an investigation into how the drug was obtained.
DeYoung's lawyers said that pentobarbital would cause needless suffering, but state attoeys deny the claims.
