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?
