Gary Gripps

Gary Gripps was a serial killer put to death by firing squad.

Trial
On June 28, 2023, Senior Judges Nathaniel Greyson, Norman Adams, and Serge Cross oversaw Gary's death penalty trial. Convicted of eight times murder. Legal aids James Haze and Andi Jones were both asked at the last minute to defend Gary in court. Although the pair managed to get him off of the "Serial Assaults and Killings" charge, he was convicted of the other charges he had pleaded guilty to--including eight first-degree murders--and sentenced to death. Afterward, Andi approached Mayor Sexton Cohen about pardoning Gary, but Sexton ultimately decided against commuting Gary's death sentence to life in prison.

Death
On June 30, 2023 at Bolingbroke Penitentiary, Gary told Mayor Sexton he didn't want any mayoral pardon or clemency. Sexton and Andi witnessed a firing squad execute Gary.
