Bulletin: Donnis George Musgrove: Yet another Alabama death row inmate petitioning for release; Alabama Public Radio

"Another Alabama death row inmate is petitioning courts to order his release. Donnis George Musgrove has been on death row for 27 years since being convicted of capital murder in February 1988. His request for release comes after two other men once on Alabama's death row are now enjoying freedom......... Prosecutors haven't yet responded to the request, but they've previously upheld Musgrove's conviction multiple times, with Alabama's Supreme Court once overturning an appellate court decision that would have granted Musgrove's freedom. Legal experts note Musgrove's case has several similarities to the case of Anthony Ray Hinton, who was freed from Alabama's death row earlier this month after new ballistics evidence contradicted prosecutors' only argument linking Hinton to the murders for which he was convicted."
