WALLA WALLA - Attorneys for Cal Brown have filed three new actions in hopes of gaining a stay of execution.

Brown, 52, is scheduled to die by lethal injection early Friday at the Washington State Penitentiary for the 1991 rape, torture and murder of 21-year-old Holly Washa.

On Thursday, Seattle lawyers Gil Levy and Suzanne Elliott filed an emergency motion with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. On the same day Brown also filed an emergency motion to stop the execution along with a personal restraint petition in the Washington State Supreme Court.
