田纳西州将Gary Sutton的死刑定在2026年12月3日执行, Tennessee has set Gary Sutton’s execution for December 3, 2026, after 29 years on death row. Sutton因1992年杀害Tommy Griffin和1993年谋杀Griffin的妹妹Connie Branam而于1996年与其叔叔一起被定罪,他坚持自己无罪。 Sutton, convicted in 1996 with his uncle for the 1992 killing of Tommy Griffin and the 1993 murder of Griffin’s sister Connie Branam, maintains his innocence. 他的律师反驳了有缺陷的证据,包括一名前法医的不可信的证词、缺乏动机、没有直接证据将Sutton与罪行联系起来、以及一项悬而未决的智力残疾索赔。 His attorney argues flawed evidence, including discredited testimony from a former medical examiner, lack of motive, no direct evidence linking Sutton to the crimes, and a pending intellectual disability claim. 在2022年暂停了对注射死刑的担忧之后,国家于2025年恢复了处决。 The state resumed executions in 2025 after a 2022 pause over lethal injection concerns. 比尔·李总督拒绝审查此案,而Sutton的法律团队不顾通过多次上诉维持定罪,仍继续反对这一决定。 Governor Bill Lee has declined to review the case, and Sutton’s legal team continues fighting the decision despite upheld convictions through multiple appeals.
