 That Abu-Ali Abdur Rahman has been on death row for 25 years for the murder of a drug dealer. He was abused when he was young,by his parents and he's mentally ill,but is given no clemency as his execution will still go on.

The jury weren't told of his abuse or his mental illness and his defence were inadequately prepared. Also the prosecution withheld evidence from both the defence and the jury. What an injustice. There are 88 prisoners on Death Row in Tennessee alone.
Two appeals have been refused by the US Supreme Court.
