Governor Robert Bentley


State of Alabama
600 Dexter Avenue
Montgomery, AL 36130
RE:

Clemency Request

Dear Governor Bentley,


We are writing to you as attorneys living and/or working in Alabama. We include former
prosecutors, legislators, former bar association presidents, law professors, and lawyers from all
areas of practice, who are sworn to uphold the laws of this State and this Country. We have a
unique, but not unprecedented request.
Currently, there are individuals on Alabamas death row who originally received
recommendations for life in prison without parole from the juries that sat on their cases, but
whose recommendations for life in prison without parole were overridden by their trial judges.
We believe the Alabama statute, and practice of judicial override of life recommendations, is
unconstitutional. These individuals should be removed from death row.
As Governor, you can use your voice to encourage the state legislature to right this
wrong, by drafting a new statute. You also have the power of clemency, and can ensure that
Alabama defendants receive the life without parole sentences originally deemed appropriate by
the jurors that heard their cases.
We are not writing as lawyers representing these people. Rather, we are asking, as
citizens of Alabama, that you use your voice and authority as Governor to ensure that men and
women on Alabamas death row are there solely because a jury decided that they should be, and
not based on the decision of a single, elected judge.
In January of this year, the United States Supreme Court invalidated Floridas juryoverride statute, holding in Hurst v. Florida that [t]he Sixth Amendment requires a jury, not a
judge, to find each fact necessary to impose a sentence of death. A jury's mere recommendation
is not enough.1 Alabamas capital punishment statute, as the United States Supreme Court
noted, is similar to Floridas and still allows judicial override. Prior to Hurst, Alabama, Florida
and Delaware, all allowed judicial override in their respective capital sentencing schemes.
Following Hurst, the Florida legislature changed its statute and the Delaware Supreme Court
struck down Delawares statute. Alabama now stands alone in permitting a single, elected judge
to overturn a jurys sentencing recommendation.
1

Hurst v. Florida, 136 S. Ct. 616, 619 (2016).

Alabamas capital sentencing procedure is supposed to ensure the fundamental fairness of


the trial, yet life-and-death decisions are made by judges facing intense electoral pressure.2 As a
result, Alabamas capital sentencing scheme particularly with respect to life-to-death
overrides produces unreliable results. Significantly, life-to-death overrides in Alabama are
more frequent in election years.3 As Justice Sotomayor recently concluded after surveying the
death sentences imposed under Alabamas capital sentencing scheme:
There is no evidence that criminal activity is more heinous in Alabama than in
other States, or that Alabama juries are particularly lenient in weighing
aggravating and mitigating circumstances. The only answer that is supported by
empirical evidence is one that, in my view, casts a cloud of illegitimacy over the
criminal justice system: Alabama judges, who are elected in partisan proceedings,
appear to have succumbed to electoral pressures. . . . By permitting a single trial
judges view to displace that of a jury representing a cross-section of the
community, Alabamas sentencing scheme has led to curious and potentially
arbitrary outcomes.4
In addition, as of late 2013, Alabama judges were responsible for 26 of the 27 instances
since 2000 in which a judge in any state has overridden a jurys advisory sentencing verdict of
life without parole.5 It is apparent that Alabama is a clear outlier among states administering
the death penalty even during the time that two other states allowed judicial override.6
To vote for a life sentence, jurors must either find that the aggravating factors argued by
the state were not proven beyond a reasonable doubt or that the mitigating factors in evidence

See e.g., Equal Justice Initiative, The Death Penalty in Alabama: Judge Override 4, 8, 16 (July 2011), available at
http://eji.org/files/Override_Report.pdf (last visited March 16, 2016) (Because trial judges have almost unlimited
discretion in capital sentencing, and because reviewing judges also are subject to reelection pressure, the override
decision is perhaps the most vulnerable to political pressure.; [R]ecent studies show that elections exert significant
direct influence on decision-making in death penalty cases.; [P]olitical pressure injects unfairness and arbitrariness
into override decisions.; The data suggests that override in Alabama is heavily influenced by arbitrary factors such
as the timing of judicial elections . . . .); Paul Brace & Brent D. Boyea, State Public Opinion, the Death Penalty,
and the Practice of Electing Judges, 52 Am. J. Pol. Sci. 360, 370 (2008) ([E]lections and strong public opinion [in
support of capital punishment] exert a notable and significant direct influence on judge decision making in [capital]
cases . . . .); Karin E. Garvey, Eighth Amendmentthe Constitutionality of the Alabama Capital Sentencing
Scheme, 86 J. Crim. L. & Criminology 1411, 1434-35 (1996) (observing the political pressure on elected judges to
support the death penalty simply increases the arbitrariness of the sentences imposed by Alabama judges);
Stephen B. Bright & Patrick J. Keenan, Judges and the Politics of Death: Deciding Between the Bill of Rights and
the Next Election in Capital Cases, 75 B.U. L. Rev. 759, 792-93 (1995) (observing [t]he political liability facing
judges who enforce the Bill of Rights in capital cases undermines the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the
state judiciary, including in deciding whether to exercise judicial override in capital cases).

outweighed the aggravators. 7 Juries are carefully instructed about the burden of proof and their
duties in this regard. When asked to sit on a capital jury, we ask a great deal of our citizenry.
That service is undermined when the decision they carefully made is overridden by a single
elected official.
You have noted the importance of the jurys role, when you have denied clemency in the
past. You have stated that you intended to honor the decisions of the jury which recommended
the death penalty. The Supreme Court has also recognized that juries generally are more
accurate fact finders than are judges, particularly when it comes to the imposition of the death
penalty. Justice Breyer stated, in his concurrence in Ring v. Arizona, that the danger of
unwarranted imposition of the [death] penalty cannot be avoided unless the decision to impose
the death penalty is made by a jury rather than by a single government official.8 In its decision
upholding the death penalty as a constitutional punishment, the U.S. Supreme Court stated one
of the most important functions any jury can perform in making . . . a selection [between life
imprisonment and death for a defendant convicted in a capital case] is to maintain a link between
contemporary community values and the penal system.9 In that same decision, the Court noted
that evolving standards have influenced juries in recent decades to be more discriminating in
imposing the sentence of death. . . . the reluctance of juries in many cases to impose the sentence
may well reflect the humane feeling that this most irrevocable of sanctions should be reserved
for a small number of extreme cases.10
We ask you to use your voice and your authority to encourage the legislature to right this
wrong. We also ask that you right this wrong directly, by having a policy of commuting
sentences to life in prison without parole to individuals whom the juries voted to impose life
without the possibility of parole.11
Commuting death sentences to life in prison without parole will not contradict any
decision by the Alabama courts since Hurst was decided. After Hurst was decided, the United
States Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the Alabama courts in several cases and sent them
back to the Alabama courts for further consideration in light of Hurst. But the Alabama Court of
Criminal Appeals has not yet ruled on any of these cases. While the Alabama Supreme Court
issued a ruling in September, denying a Hurst challenge, the case before it did not have a judicial
override.

Pursuant to the law, both of those findings must be made in order to impose a death sentence in Alabama.

The attorneys on this list do not represent the death row inmates included in this clemency request and by signing
this letter are not engaged in representation of these individuals. Rather, by signing this letter, these attorneys are
asking you to ensure Alabama follows what we believe to be the law as set out by the United States Supreme Court.

Commuting death sentences to life in prison without parole is not without precedent.
Several governors have commuted the sentences of their states entire death row populations,
since the death penalty was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1976: Governor Martin OMalley,
Maryland, 2015; Governor Jon Corzine, New Jersey, 2007; Governor George Ryan, Illinois,
2003; Governor Tony Anaya, New Mexico, 1986.
We do not make this request without serious thought and consideration. We recognize as
Governor you represent the people of this State, so that any request that you use your voice as
Governor is not a small request. This is a question of justice and an opportunity for you to speak
in favor of the power of Alabamas citizens when serving as jurors. In this instance, you can use
your voice to give Alabama juries their voice back.
Asking the legislature to re-write the statute and do away with judicial override is
certainly a step in the right direction, and would let Alabama juries know that you support their
right to be heard. Granting commutations, consistent with the decisions of Alabama juries, will
uphold the Alabama jurors voices.
Governor Bentley, just as you noted when signing the legislation exonerating the
Scottsboro boys, A[w]e need to right the wrongs that have been done in the past. . . . It is
important to confront our history and secure justice whenever we can. [And, while] we cannot
take back what happened, []we can make it right by moving forward.@
Judicial override of life recommendations is unconstitutional and simply wrong. You
have the power to right this wrong by urging the legislature to act now to stop this process, and
by granting commutations and returning the life without parole sentence originally deemed
appropriate by the jurors. We respectfully request that you use that power.12
Respectfully,

In the event you do not choose to exercise your power to grant clemency, we ask that these death row inmates not
be precluded from future clemency filings based on that denial.
