    Jeffrey Lee - Alabama Death Row




    Facts of the Crime:

    Sentenced to death in 2000 for the Orrville robbery and murder of Jimmy Ellis and his wife on December 12, 1998. Lee also shot another woman during the robbery that was captured on video surveillance.

    At trial the State's evidence tended to show that on December 12, 1998, Lee entered Jimmy's Pawn Shop in Orrville armed with a sawed-off shotgun. Lee shot Jimmy Ellis, the owner, and two employees, Elaine Thompson and Helen King. The coroner testified that Ellis died of a gunshot wound to his chest and that Thompson died of a gunshot wound to her face. King recovered from her gunshot wound and testified at Lee's trial.

    Out of appeals? That means an X date could be ordered if Alabama could get its act together, right?
