Montgomery, AL – Attorney General Troy King has asked the Alabama Supreme Court to set an execution date for Jack Trawick, who was convicted in the 1992 murder of a Birmingham woman.
According to court records, Trawick abducted Stephanie Gauch near her apartment after she had returned from a shopping mall. She was stabbed to death and beaten with a hammer.
Trawick was sentenced to death in 1994.
In a statement Tuesday, King said there are no pending challenges to the validity of Trawick's conviction and death sentence. King said the inmate has exhausted his state and federal appeals.
