	"description": "Willie B. Smith III has been re-scheduled for execution in Alabama on October 21, 2021 for the 1991 murder of Sharma Ruth Johnson, who was the sister of a Birmingham police detective. Smith and his attorneys have been appealing his conviction and asking for clemency due to various claims, including that his original trial lawyers provided ineffective assistance and that he shouldn’t be executed because he is intellectually disabled. Court records indicate a defense team expert estimated his IQ at 64 while a prosecution expert presented it as 72. Attorneys for Smith have an ongoing lawsuit against the state prison system challenging the lethal injection procedure as unconstitutionally cruel. They also argued Smith’s intellectual disability prevented him from understanding what was at stake when the state gave inmates a short window to select hydrogen hypoxia as their preferred execution method. 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.",
