Man faces execution for killing wife decades ago in Memphis.
A man convicted of killing his wife decades ago at a camping center he managed in Memphis is set for execution Thursday evening in Tennessee.
Barring last-minute intervention, Johnson would become the fourth person executed in Tennessee since August. The last two inmates executed in Tennessee chose the electric chair, saying they believed it offered a quicker and less painful death than the state's default method of lethal injection. Gov. Bill Lee announced Tuesday that he would not intervene , following"prayerful and deliberate consideration" of Johnson's clemency request.
Connie Johnson's daughter, Cynthia Vaughn, has said she's forgiven Johnson and joined in the request for clemency. Other relatives had sent a letter to the governor asking that the execution move forward."I ask you to please bring justice to our family after 35 years of exhausted heartache, sorrow, and emptiness," wrote the victim's sister, Margaret Davis.
