Bazemore Nears End of Life On Death Row
George Frank Bazemore, a Greene County killer, faces execution at the state prison tomorrow morning unless a last minute stay is granted. He was convicted of fatally shooting Gordon Yelverton, a Fremont white man, last November 5 and had previously been convicted twice for the same crime. An appeal to the supreme court was not perfected. Bazemore, on death row for six months, took Yelverton’s truck and tobacco, selling the load at Farmville after the killing. A new trial was granted due to trial judge error in admitting the verdict when the judge was absent. No respite was planned today.
