Killer to face final sanity hearing before execution
James Larry Upton, 22, awaiting execution in the electric chair, will have a sanity hearing Thursday morning in Santa Fe. The New Mexico Supreme Court granted the hearing as his last chance to avoid death, with governor sentiment leaning against clemency after references to him as a "mad dog" and a 1954 murder of Donald T. Dilley near Albuquerque. Federal judge also ruled he was sane at all times, leaving execution set for shortly after midnight Friday.
