Appellate court rejects Brown's request to halt execution

Mary Pat Treuthart, left and Nancy Nelson, both of Spokane, stand in the "Against" pen at the Washington state penitentiary protesting the execution of Cal Coburn Brown. "We are making our country less safe by killing our own citizens" said Nelson. Brown will be executed early Friday morning for the murder of 21-year-old Holly Washa in SeaTac in 1991.
