David Hill in the News 2004

David Clayton Hill was wrongfully convicted of the 1994 killing of Major Spencer Guerry of Georgetown, SC and has been on Death Row for the past ten years. To this day, David continues to maintain his innocence. The South Carolina Supreme Court issued the death warrant of Mr. Hill on Friday, February 20, 2004.

David's attorneys have filed the first lethal injection lawsuit in South Carolina against the South Carolina Department of Corrections. The United States Supreme Court granted stays in two other death penalty cases due to lethal injection litigation, and then did a complete 180 degree turn and have allowed several executions to go forward even thought the same lethal injection evidence was presented. This is Governor Mark Sanford’s first case for clemency since he took office. The Governor needs to adopt meaningful procedures for clemency, including an opportunity for the attorneys and David Hill to meet with Governor Sanford. This case, as with every other case, must be carefully considered since this is a question of life, death and human decency.

Please write to Governor Sanford and sign the online petition for David asking that he grant David clemency. We are also planning a Day of Action, with two guest speakers who were exhonerated from Death Row, but are needing a lot of help and funds to be able to pull this together in time. David Clayton Hill will be executed on March 19th, 2004 if nothing is done to help him. Please see the links above for more information on David's case. Thank you.
