Stop The Execution of Harold Nichols in Tennessee

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee

Tennessee has set an execution date of December 11, 2025 for Harold Nichols, who was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1988 murder of Karen Pulley.

Tennessee should grant Mr. Nicholas’ request for life in prison without parole, as the judge erred in rejecting the Chattanooga DA’s recommendation to commute Mr. Nichols' death sentence in 2018. The prosecution agrees that death is not the appropriate punishment for Harold Nichols.

From: [Your Name]

We are writing to ask that you to stop the December 11, 2025 execution of Harold Nichols, who was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1988 murder of Karen Pulley.

We are concerned that while the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions, Tennessee has continued to go against trend by carrying on an aggressive execution schedule.

We, the undersigned, ask that you do everything within your power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.

We also add our voices to those of the prisoners on death row and urge you to respond to their request that you visit and pray with them.

Thank you for your time and attention to this very urgent and serious matter.
