    Freddie Lee Wright - Alabama Execution - March 3, 2000




    Summary of Offense: Warren and Lois Green owned and operated a Western Auto Store in Mount Vernon, Alabama. On Warren's 40th birthday, December 1, 1977, they were murdered during an armed robbery of their store. They were forced into a back room at gunpoint, bound back to back with extension cords and shot in the head at point blank range. They left behind one daughter who was sixteen years old at the time of their murders. Freddie Lee Wright was found guilty of the robbery and of their murders in 1979 and sentenced to die in Alabama's electric chair. He along with three other accomplices were on their way to rob another store when they decided to stop in Mount Vernon to purchase tape to repair a rip in the seat of their car. They made the decision to rob this store instead of going on to the other town. His admitted accomplices, Roger McQueen, Percy Craig and Reginald Tinsley, all testified that Wright fired the fatal shots. All three subsequently were convicted of murder. Craig and Tinsley served their time and are now believed to be living in the Mobile area. McQueen is serving time in a federal prison on an unrelated kidnapping conviction. Wright's first trial ended in a hung jury. Doris Lacey Lambert, Wright's former girlfriend and the mother of his child, testified at the second trial that Wright admitted the murders to her just after they were committed. Years later, McQueen recanted his testimony.
