Governor commuting Bates death sentence to life imprisonment
Governor Blaine commuted former Spartanburg police officer Joe Bates death penalty for the murder of Dosia Bolter to life imprisonment. Bates, deemed not insane, was condemned after a July 21 execution date was set and later stayed. The petition cites Bates's insanity as a plea, while supporters argue he cannot be trusted with the law’s ultimate penalty. Bates was tried by Hevera and Heitor Olle led the prosecution.
