PARCHMAN, Miss. (AP) - Gov. Haley Barbour has denied clemency to
condemned inmate Dale Leo Bishop, leaving his life in the hands of
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Barbour's policy adviser Daryl Neely told reporters of Barbour's
decision during a briefing to reporters at the state prison at
Parchman as officials continued preparations for Bishop's 6 p.m.
execution.
The Supreme Court has not yet taken up three pending appeals
filed by Bishop's attorneys.
Bishop's attorneys say his life should be spared because he did
not swing the hammer that killed Marcus James Gentry in 1998.
Bishop also claims his bipolar disorder prevented him from making a
sound decision when he asked for the death penalty in 2000.
