Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson set the execution dates for eight Arkansas death row inmates on Monday (Feb. 27).
The eight inmates have all been convicted of capital murder.
“This action is necessary to fulfill the requirement of the law, but it is also important to bring closure to the victims’ families who have lived with the court appeals and uncertainty for a very long time,” Hutchinson said.
The execution dates were set as follows:
Kenneth Williams – April 27, 2017
Bruce Ward – April 17, 2017
Stacey Johnson – April 20, 2017
Don Williamson Davis – April 17, 2017
Ledell Lee – April 20, 2017
Jack Harold Jones – April 24, 2017
Jason McGehee – April 27, 2017
Marcel Williams – April 24, 2017
