When Bishop was 19, he helped kill Leverett Morrison, 35, so he could take the keys to his Jeep. Bishop tried to grab the keys out of Morrison’s pocket while he was asleep. When he woke up, Bishop and an accomplice hit him with a car battery, and then beat him with a rod until he was dead.
They left Morrison’s body between two trash bins. The accomplice received life in prison.
On Thursday, Georgia’s Board of Pardons and Paroles denied clemency, and the state’s supreme court denied his request for a stay. Late Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court also declined to halt his execution.

Hopefully Hillary will be pulled left on this issue and will stop supporting this barbaric practice. I’m not in favor of liberal purity tests, but this is basic stuff – the death penalty is wrong. Do the right thing and flip-flop on this position of yours, Madam Future President.
