Keith Edmund Gavin Execution Details
Keith Edmund Gavin was executed by lethal injection at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, becoming the third inmate to be put to death by the state this year and the 10th in the nation. He was convicted of capital murder in the shooting death of William Clayton Jr. in Cherokee County on 6 March 1998. As per records, he had maintained his innocence since 1998, pointing the finger at a cousin who was at the crime scene with him.
The day before Gavin's execution, he refused breakfast, lunch, and dinner but ate a bag of Ruffles cheddar sour cream potato chips, a bag of Lay’s plain potato chips, and a chocolate Hersey Bar with almonds.
Shortly before his execution, Gavin filed a handwritten motion with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting a stay in the execution based on a claim that he was denied due process because he was indigent and couldn't pay a filing fee.
Keith Edmund Gavin, who had previously been convicted of murder in 1982, detailed in several appeals for a new murder trial that Dewayne Meeks was the one who shot Clayton and not him. Meeks has never been convicted in the crime, and two other witnesses positively identified Gavin as the shooter.
