A South Carolina inmate, Richard Moore, is facing execution next month for a crime committed in 1999. Moore, who went into a convenience store to rob it, ended up fatally shooting a clerk during a struggle. The case has garnered attention due to the absence of African Americans on the jury that convicted Moore.
Moore's supporters, including his son and lawyers, argue that his sentence is disproportionate to the crime he committed. They highlight Moore's remorse and his efforts to turn his life around during his time in prison. They are urging for clemency from Governor Henry McMaster.
