Michael Taylor Execution Set | Birmingham News
Description
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has set a date for the execution of Michael Shannon Taylor, a 19-year-old Navy deserter convicted in 1993 for brutally murdering elderly couple Ivan and Lucille Moore in their Gadsden home in November 1991. After gaining entry by posing as a friend, Taylor attacked them with a metal bar, stole their wallets and car, and fled—later arrested in Birmingham for cashing stolen checks. He confessed during a robbery. The jury unanimously recommended death, and after years of legal appeals, Alabama’s Supreme Court cleared the way. The execution, by lethal injection at Holman Correctional Facility, is scheduled to begin Thursday night, November 5th, and conclude Friday morning, marking the end of a 30-year legal saga.
