Cal Coburn Brown Scheduled To Be Executed Friday


On Wednesday, a judge turned down an attempted stay of execution for Cal Coburn Brown, a man convicted of raping, torturing and murdering a woman in a SeaTac motel in 1991.

Brown was sentenced to death in 1993 for the kidnapping, rape and death of Holly Washa, 22, of Burien. He carjacked her, then held her against her will for two days in a motel, raping and torturing her before slashing her throat. Her body was later found in the trunk of her own car.

According to court documents, Brown suffered from bi-polar disorder, but has been medicated to treat it since 1994.

Barring any other last-minute decisions, Brown will be executed via lethal injection just after midnight Friday at Walla Walla State Penitentiary. He will be the first King County prisoner put to death since 1993, with the state of Washington reinstated the death penalty.
