Willie B. Smith III, 51, is scheduled to be put to death Thursday at a south Alabama prison for the 1991 shotgun slaying of Sharma Ruth Johnson.
Smith's attorneys have sought a stay arguing that the pandemic and the prohibition on in-person prison visits had made it difficult for them to adequately represent him. They said Smith has been unable to receive the number of in-person visits from attorneys, friends and a pastor that death row inmates normally do before their date in the execution chamber.
Attorneys also argued the execution would be a super-spreader event. Some COVID-19 cases have been linked to recent federal executions.
Prosecutors said Smith abducted Johnson at gunpoint in October 1991 as she waited to use an ATM in Birmingham, forced her into the trunk of a car and withdrew $80 using her bank card. Prosecutors said he then took her to a cemetery where he shot her in the back of the head and later returned to set the car on fire.
Appellate courts rejected Smith’s claims on appeal, including that his lawyers provided ineffective assistance at trial and that he should not be executed because he is intellectually disabled. Court records indicate a defense team expert estimated his IQ at 64 while a prosecution expert pegged it at 72.

Well isn't that too bad. The nigger already had its trial. It already had its appeals, no doubt a hundred of them arguing the same nigger excuses. And now the excuse is that people might get sick from watching? So televise it.

I don't know if the victim was human or a nigger, but let's presume human. Did she get a bunch of visits before she was killed? Was there any concern over her intelligence?

God damn, that is one ugly egghead. Send it back to hell where it's from, already.
