Alderman clemency bid to be heard today

The state’s Board of Pardons and Paroles will convene this morning at 9 o’clock to consider a plea for clemency for convicted killer Jack Alderman. Monday, a Fulton County judge ruled Alderman should get a stay of execution until an appeal was heard. Alderman was scheduled to die tonight at 7pm for the 1974 murder of his wife. The board of Pardons and Paroles will hear from Alderman’s family and friends, religious leaders and a psychologist. Alderman is the longest serving inmate on Georgia's death row.
