I'm guessing 2 - 3 weeks for SCOTUS deny rehearing. A January/February execution date. I had hoped for a December X date. Perhaps there is still the slightest chance of that, if SCOTUS moves expeditiously in denying a rehearing.
Hasn't it been a while since anyone has been executed in Washington?

BTW, the great State of Washington is the only state in the union with an active gallows. LI is the default method. There is some thought Mr. Gentry could throw a wrench in the works by requesting to be hanged. As Mr. Gentry is African American this could put the state of Washington in an odd public relations position to say the least. Knowing Washingtonians however. The smart money says they call the bluff.
If Gentry asked to be hanged he would actually be doing the state a massive favour as it would bypass all potential method-of-execution litigation.
