Joe Nathan James, Jr. - Alabama Execution - July 28, 2022
James' thread found here.
Summary of Offense:
Sentenced to death in 1996 for the burglary and shooting death of his former girlfriend, Faith Hall, on August 15, 1994 in Jefferson County.
The State's evidence at James's 1999 trial tended to show that on August 15, 1992, James shot and killed Hall. Tammy Sneed testified that she and Hall had been out shopping and were returning to Sneed's apartment on August 15, 1992, when they noticed that James, whom Hall had dated, was following them in a vehicle. They parked at the apartment complex and Hall ran into Sneed's apartment. Bridget Gregory, a neighbor of Sneed's, testified that she saw them arrive and that she, Sneed, and Hall went to Sneed's apartment to talk about what to do about James. James had been following Hall since the two had stopped dating. After some discussion Gregory decided to go to her apartment and telephone the police. Sneed did not have a telephone in her apartment. Gregory said that when she opened the door to Sneed's apartment James pushed past her and entered the apartment armed with a pistol. She said that James confronted Hall about the man she had been out with the night before. Hall begged James to put the gun down because there were children in the apartment. Gregory testified that James pointed the gun at Hall, that he shot her, and that when Hall fell to the floor James shot her again. James then ran out the back door of the apartment. Sneed also testified that she witnessed James shoot Hall.
