7:59Now PlayingIn Memphis, Tennessee, Pervis Payne, who has spent more than 30 years living on death row, will not be facing execution.
He will now serve two consecutive life sentences after being convicted of killing a young mother and her daughter in 1987, a crime he maintains he didn’t do. Payne suffers from a severe intellectual disability, rendering his execution unconstitutional under Tennessee law.
Payne’s attorney Kelley Henry and his sister, Rolanda Holman, join Yodit Tewolde on “Making the Case” to discuss the decision.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
