Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander rejected full clemency for Willie Lee Fletcher, a 29 year old inmate serving 99 years for murder, but charged the state with arranging a possible kidney transplant at Vanderbilt or Birmingham hospitals to aid his 11 year old son Rickey. Fletcher asked clemency to travel to Alabama for the donation, hoping his son would avoid life support. The State Board of Paroles had voted 3-2 against immediate clemency and asked for arrangements to pursue the procedure, while questions remained about donor suitability and who would pay. Alexander said he would re evaluate if circumstances change.
