ACLU Seeks Supreme Court Stay for Potentially Innocent Man
Description
The American Civil Liberties Union is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the execution of Tony Carruthers, set for May 21st. Carruthers was convicted for triple homicide in 1994, but his legal team argues the case relied heavily on jailhouse informants and circumstantial evidence. The ACLU claims untested DNA and fingerprint evidence exists that could prove Carruthers innocence, and theyre concerned Tennessee is withholding this crucial evidence. The Supreme Court is being asked to overturn the Tennessee Supreme Courts decision to deny further forensic testing.
