ATMORE, Alabama — A man convicted of the 1992 rape and beating death of a woman is scheduled to receive a lethal injection Thursday in what would be Alabama's first execution in more than two years. Christopher Eugene Brooks, 43, is set to die at 6 p.m. CST at Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, authorities said. He was convicted of the 1992 capital murder of 23-year-old Jo Deann Campbell, a woman he first met when they worked as camp counselors in upstate New York. A judge sentenced him to die after a jury recommended a death sentence by an 11-1 vote. Campbell was seen speaking to Brooks at a restaurant where she worked on Dec. 30, 1992, and she later told a friend that someone was spending the night in her living room, according to witnesses. The next day, Homewood police found Campbell's partially clothed body under the bed of her Homewood apartment. Prosecutors said she had been bludgeoned to death with an 8-pound dumbbell and sexually assaulted. Read More. |
