On this date, March

Six days earlier, his brother, Karl Heinz LaGrand was executed by lethal
injection in that State. They were both charged for murdering a man in an armed
robbery.

Executions in
California were carried out in the gas chamber at San Quentin State Prison. It
was modified for the use of lethal injection, but has been returned to its
original designated purpose, with the creation of a new chamber specifically
for lethal injection.
