State of Tennessee executes Nick Sutton
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Fifty-eight-year-old Nicholas Sutton was sentenced to death in 1986 for killing a fellow inmate.
The Tennessee Department of Corrections announced Sutton was executed Thursday night. His time of death was 7:26 p.m.
He had already been serving time for three murders committed when he was just 18.
In a clemency petition to Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Sutton's supporters said he was not the same man who went to prison forty years ago. But Lee said Wednesday that he would not grant clemency.
