Pardons Board Considers White Supremacist Case

Georgia's pardons board is reviewing the case of a condemned inmate who is set to be executed later this month. The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles on Thursday heard testimony from representatives of condemned inmate William Mark Mize, who is set to be executed on April 28 for shooting to death one of his followers. The board will likely issue its decision after Mize speaks to the panel on April 21. Mize, who is 52, was convicted in Oconee County Superior Court for the 1994 murder of Eddie Tucker, who was shot at close range three times after he failed to burn down a house Mize considered a crack house in nearby Athens. He would be the second person in Georgia put to death this year.
