Wayne Nichols, a 64-year-old man who has been on death row in Tennessee, USA, for 35 years, is scheduled to be executed on 11 December 2025. In 1990, he pled guilty to the 1988 rape and murder of a woman in Chattanooga. Multiple jurors who sentenced him to death in 1990, and two former prosecutors from the case, have stated their support for clemency. Experts have pointed to his acceptance of responsibility, model conduct in prison and personal rehabilitation in support or clemency. We call on the Governor to commute this death sentence.
