2025年12月11日被处决的田纳西州死囚Harold Wayne Nichols已要求总督Bill Lee将死刑改判为终身监禁,不得假释。 Tennessee death row inmate Harold Wayne Nichols, set for execution on December 11, 2025, has asked Governor Bill Lee to commute his death sentence to life in prison without parole. 他的律师引用了他的供词、忏悔、监狱改造和与受害者母亲的会面,后者原谅了他,并给了他一本圣经。 His attorneys cite his confession, remorse, prison rehabilitation, and a meeting with the victim’s mother, who forgave him and gave him a Bible. Nichols先前选择了电椅,但这次拒绝选择一种方法,因此默认会使用注射致死剂。 Nichols previously chose the electric chair but declined to select a method this time, so lethal injection will be used by default. 国家于2024年12月修订的新pentobarbital协议面临持续的法律挑战。 The state’s new pentobarbital-only protocol, revised in December 2024, faces ongoing legal challenges. 州长尚未对宽大处理的请求作出回应。 The governor has not yet responded to the clemency request.
