DO NOT MURDER KENNETH SMITH!! THE JURY RECOMMENDED LIFE W/O PAROLE. THE JUDGE OVERRULED.

AGAIN!!

With every cell of my being and with every fiber of my memory I oppose the death penalty in all forms. I do not believe any civilized society should be at the service of death. I don’t think it’s human to become an agent of the angel of death. — Elie Wiesel

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.
— Archbishop Desmond Tutu

In 1996, Smith was convicted in a murder-for-hire plot that led to the death of Sennett in her home. Court records show that Sennett’s husband, a reverend who later took his own life, hired a man named Billy Williams to kill his wife. Williams, in turn, hired Smith and another man, John Parker, to stage a burglary and kill Elizabeth.

Williams was convicted of his role in the murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Parker, too, was convicted of Sennett’s murder and was executed in 2010.

As for Smith, a jury recommended by vote of 11 to 1 that he should receive a sentence of life without parole for his role in Sennett’s death, but a judge overrode that verdict and sentenced him to execution.

“If Smith’s trial had occurred today, he would not be eligible for execution,” a federal appeals court wrote of Smith’s case in 2021.

ISSUES OF CONCERN

1. Mr. Smith’s jury voted 11-1 for a life without the possibility parole sentence.

2. Mr. Smith’s rights were violated by the State’s refusal to enter into good faith plea agreement.

3. Alabama is failing to reveal the expiration date of the execution drugs.

4. Alabama is failing to reveal the source of its execution drugs.

5. Alabama still uses a method of execution with drugs considered by some States to be in violation of the Constitution and ethically, morally wrong.

6. Alabama ought to delay all executions to allow for a thorough study of its capital punishment process and consider the serious objections raised as to how it administers the death penalty.


Please sign the petition asking Governor Ivey to do everything within her power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.
