Governor asked to halt Maryland June execution
Maryland Governor Parris Glendening is urged to commute Flint Gregory Hunt’s death sentence to life without parole and halt the June gas chamber execution. Hunt’s attorney notes the law changed in 1987, allowing life without parole, a option not available to his jury at the time. The case echoes concerns about racial disparities in the death penalty and follows appeals at the state and federal levels.
