Lezmund Mitchell set to be executed in two weeks, unless Trump intervenes
Over a decade ago, one young Navajo man tortured and killed a grandmother and her grandchild. He carjacked the vehicle. Now he is on deathrow for his crimes scheduled to be executed in two weeks on August 26, 2020. There was a law that allowed tribes to opt-out of capital punishment for tribal members on death row. Navajo Nation opted out of capital punishment, but lawyers under the Trump administration found a loophole in the federal law and are now seeking to get this Navajo man executed quickly. There is a petition circulating among advocates asking President Trump to spare this man's life. On the Navajo reservation, there are many violent and evil people. I hope that these people are looking at this case to see if the Navajo man's life get spared. Taking a life should not be taken lightly. People tend to think that what they do does not affect others. But here, there are a lot of people trying to protect this Navajo man's life, even though he ended two people's lives himself. From all side, where is the fairness?
