The State of Alabama has successfully carried out the lethal injection execution of James Osgood, 55, for the repeated rape and eventual murder of a Chilton County woman in 2010.

The Alabama Supreme Court on Friday officially approved the lethal injection execution of James Osgood, the man convicted of the repeated rape and eventual murder of a Chilton County woman in 2010.

In what marks the sixth arrest this week of individuals trying to introduce contraband into Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, a Wednesday bust secured three arrests and multiple confiscated narcotics.

Multiple people were recently arrested for attempting to smuggle in contraband to Holman Correctional Facility, including a security guard who is charged with having an ongoing sexual relationship with an inmate.

The man sentenced to death in a 1993 deadly home invasion was executed Thursday night.

A man who killed a 75-year-old woman with a claw hammer in 2001 could be executed this summer, 22 years after being put on Alabama’s death row.
