[Your Name]
We are writing to ask that you to stop the November 1, 2024 execution of Richard Moore for the 1999 murder of James Mahoney. This murder, while tragic, was not premeditated and is not among the "worst of the worst." Moore entered a convenience store in 1999 unarmed and intending to rob the place, but a fight soon broke out between him and the clerk, who had a gun, that resulted in James Mahoney being fatally shot.
We are concerned that while the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions, South Carolina is going against the trend by attempting to carry out an execution, despite the fact your state has not done so in nearly 11 years.
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.
Thank you for your time and attention to this serious matter.
