Execution date set for Allen R. Holman, Sr.

 RALEIGH - Correction Secretary Theodis Beck has set March 9, 2007, as the execution date for inmate Allen R. Holman, Sr.  The execution is scheduled for 2 a.m. at Central Prison in Raleigh.

 Holman, 47, was sentenced to death April 7, 1998, in Wake County Superior Court for the first-degree murder of Linda Holman.   

  On August 18, 2005, the North Carolina Supreme Court affirmed Holman’s conviction and sentence of death. 

 Holman declined further appeals efforts and requested that an execution date be set.

On December 14, 2006, a federal judge ruled Holman was mentally competent to withdraw his appeals.
