    William Robert Gray - North Carolina

    4th Circuit Orders New Sentencing for William Gray Jr NC DR in 1992 Murder

    Richmond, VA - A federal appeals court in Richmond has ordered a new sentencing for a North Carolina death row inmate.

    Kinston dentist William Robert Gray Junior was sentenced to die for the 1992 murder of his estranged wife.

    A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Tuesday that Gray's lawyer should have developed evidence that Gray suffered a severe mental illness. The court said failure to do so probably prejudiced the outcome of the sentencing phase of Gray's trial.

    The court said the defense attorney ignored several "red flags" about Gray's mental condition and ever explored whether the issue was worth investigating as a possible mitigating factor at sentencing.

    Three years is a long time for a resentencing. What's happening here?

    Still pending. He is still under a death sentence and was transferred out of NC DOC custody on March 9, 2009.
