Alabama is preparing to execute an inmate who was convicted in the 1982 killing of a man in a murder-for-hire arrangement. Tommy Arthur is scheduled to receive a lethal injection at 6 p.m. Thursday. Arthur, now 74, was convicted of murdering Troy Wicker in 1982 as the man slept inside his Muscle Shoals home. The Alabama Supreme Court has set an execution date six times for Arthur, but he has won a reprieve each time. His attorney plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
