A woman and her sister -- along with their uncle -- oppose Alabama's plan to execute the man who killed their mother. Unless a judge or the governor intervenes, Joe Nathan James Jr., 49, will die by lethal injection Thursday evening.
This undated photo provided by the Alabama Department of Corrections shows inmate Joe Nathan James Jr. Terryln Hall said she, her sister and her mother's brother oppose Alabama's plan to execute the man convicted of killing their mother. Now, nearly 30 years later, Hall and her sister -- along with their uncle -- oppose Alabama's plan to execute the man who killed their mother. Unless a judge or the governor intervenes, Joe Nathan James Jr.
The conviction was overturned when the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that a judge wrongly admitted some police reports into evidence. James was retried and again sentenced to death in 1999, when jurors rejected defense claims that he was under emotional duress at the time of the shooting. Hall said her only real memory of her mother is as a hard worker who took care of her daughters and "whoever else was around."The road to forgiveness was a long process for Hall.
"In this case, the Hall family, with deep prayer, consideration, and conviction, is asking you to have mercy by sparing the life of Mr. James," Givan said in a statement.
