	LaGrand case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The LaGrand case was a contentious case in the International Court of Justice, Germany vs. United States of America (1999 - 2001).
		The LaGrands were German nationals, having been born in Germany and having moved with their mother to the United States at age 3; at no time did they become citizens of the United States.
		Karl LaGrand was subsequently executed by the State of Arizona on February 24, 1999.

		Karl told her to sit down and opened his jacket to reveal a gun, which was later found by the police to be a toy pistol.
		Karl's previous attorney succeeded in having the confessions suppressed on the grounds that the confessions were involuntary and that Karl had not received his Miranda warnings.
		Karl also argues that he was entitled to the appointment of a new lawyer to represent him in his request for a change in trial counsel.

		Among the claims raised in Walter LaGrand’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus was the claim that execution by lethal gas constituted cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
		The court concluded that Karl LaGrand’s failure to raise the lethal gas claim was excused because there was no legal or factual basis for the claim when he pursued his direct appeal in state court.
		At the last moment, Karl LaGrand requested the use of lethal injection, which the State allowed, and the validity of the Ninth Circuit’s injunction was not tested.

	LaGrand Case (Germany v. United States of America) - Global Policy Forum - International Justice
		It recalls that the brothers Karl and Walter LaGrand - German nationals who had been permanently residing in the United States since childhood - were arrested in 1982 in Arizona for their involvement in an attempted bank robbery, in the course of which the bank manager was murdered and another bank employee seriously injured.
		By that stage, the LaGrands were precluded because of the doctrine of "procedural default" in United States law from challenging their convictions and sentences by claiming that their rights under the Vienna Convention had been violated.
		Karl LaGrand was executed on 24 February 1999.

	LaGrand Case
		On 7 January 1982, Karl LaGrand and Walter LaGrand were arrested in the United States by law enforcement officers on suspicion of having been involved earlier the same day in an attempted armed bank robbery in Marana, Arizona, in the course of which the bank manager was murdered and another bank employee seriously injured.
		On 15 January 1999, the Supreme Court of Arizona decided that Karl LaGrand was to be executed on 24 February 1999, and that Walter LaGrand was to be executed on 3 March 1999.
		This is so because, prior to 1992, the LaGrands could not resort to the available remedies, since they were unaware of their rights due to failure of the United States authorities to comply with the requirements of the Vienna Convention; thereafter, the "procedural default" rule prevented them from seeking any remedy.

	CNN - Other LaGrand brother cleared for death by injection - Febrary 26, 1999
		PHOENIX (AP) -- In the end, Karl LaGrand couldn't abide by his request to die a gasping death in the gas chamber and begged state officials at the last minute to execute him painlessly by injection.
		The LaGrands, condemned to death for killing Marana bank manager Kenneth Hartsock in 1982, hoped to escape execution by requesting the gas chamber so they could contend that it was cruel and unusual punishment.
		The legal maneuver ultimately won Karl an extra five hours of life, but the U.S. Supreme Court lifted a lower court stay and he was executed Wednesday night.

		Accordingly, the United States acknowledges that, as a result of the failure to inform Walter and Karl LaGrand of their right to consular notification, there was a breach of a legal duty owed by the United States to the Federal Republic of Germany under the Vienna Convention.
		Their adoptive father, Masie LaGrand, could have arranged for Walter and Karl LaGrand to be naturalized as U.S. citizens by completing the necessary application and process.
		Matters such as the LaGrand brothers' lack of connection with Germany, the cautious conduct of German consuls in 1992, and the extensive evidence about the brothers' past lives already available to the Arizona court when the LaGrands were sentenced, shows that Germany's suppositions are not persuasive.

		The brothers LaGrand had lived for a long time in the United States and therefore the authorities of Arizona had claimed to be unaware of the German nationality of Karl and Walter LaGrand in 1982 when the brothers were convicted for murder.
		In 1992, however, Karl and Walter LaGrand had claimed their rights according to the Vienna Convention; their claim failed, however, because, according to the law of the United States, it was belated.
		The execution of the convicted was scheduled for 24 February 1999 for Karl LaGrand and 3 March 1999 for Walter LaGrand.

		Walter LaGrand's took place in a dramatic context: it was carried out on the face of Germany's claims and despite the Order of the Court calling upon the United States to take all measures at its disposal to ensure his execution be stayed pending the Court's final decision in the matter.
		The problems the LaGrand case raises, however, go beyond the issue of the legal effect of provisional measures and it is only in the wider examination of those problems that a proper analysis of the legal effect of interim measures can be achieved.
		In fact, however, Karl and Walter LaGrand were poorly represented, none of this evidence was produced, and the brothers were sentenced to death.

		From all the substantive points raised by the LaGrand case, the issue of provisional measures remains, without doubt, one of the most provocative aspects of the whole case.
		Perhaps most importantly, though, is to note that the LaGrand case is the first case to reach the merits stage where the International Court of Justice has been expressly requested to rule on the international responsibility incurred by a state on account of failure to comply with an Order for provisional measures.
		As noted by Collins, Lauterpacht's rejection of the overriding nature of this argument was based on one assumption: `that the legal consequences of liability in public international law are generally limited to the obligation to pay damages, and therefore there is no such occurrence in the international sphere as irreparable damage'.
