Lawyers for Indiana death row inmate Benjamin Ritchie are seeking a last-minute execution pause from the U.S. Supreme Court to allow evidence of the inmate’s “serious brain damage” to be weighed for the first time. The high court requests are in response to a 2-2 decision handed down late last month by Indiana’s Supreme Court justices, which shut the door on any further legal challenges in state or federal courts. kAms676?D6 2EE@C?6JD 2C8F65 :?

Indiana death row inmate Benjamin Ritchie expressed remorse and shed tears as he pleaded Monday for the state’s parole board to spare his life. Ritchie faces a May 20 execution date for the 2000 killing of Beech Grover law enforcement officer William Toney. The condemned man has been on death row since his conviction in 2002. With clemency, the governor — in tandem with Indiana’s Parole Board — can elect to commute a death sentence to life imprisonment or grant a pardon for a criminal offense.
