Governor declines pardon in Giles County dog case
The governor cannot intervene to spare Ricky the punishment for killing a sheep. Despite petitions, and a sentence tied to the dog’s location, the governor states no legal authority to pardon. Witnesses and records show the killing was observed by deputies and the owner, leading to no change in the execution order. The case may move to Giles County Court for potential modification.
