(Seattle, WA) -- The Washington State Supreme Court is considering arguments in the case of a man who was convicted of murdering a Tacoma woman 20 years ago. Allen Gregory is appealing his death sentence for the rape and murder of Genine [[ juh-NEEN ]] Harshfield. The high court heard arguments yesterday from both sides. Earlier this week, dozens of former judges and the ACLU submitted a friend-of-the-court brief, asking the Supreme Court to abolish the death penalty.
