Georgia man Willie James Pye, intellectually disabled, scheduled for execution on March 20th for 1993 murder of ex-girlfriend.
A Georgia man, Willie James Pye, is scheduled for execution on March 20th for the 1993 murder of his former girlfriend, Alicia Lynn Yarbrough. Pye's lawyers have requested clemency, stating that he is intellectually disabled and feels remorse for his actions. Pye's IQ is reportedly 68, and his lawyers argue that if his original defense counsel had properly presented this information, the jury would have made a different decision. The execution would be Georgia's first in over four years.
