       Arkansas Inmate Set for Execution Applies for Clemency--

       One of the two Arkansas inmates scheduled to be executed on Nov.
       3 filed an application for executive clemency by the deadline
       Monday.
       Arkansas Parole Board spokesman Solomon Graves said Stacey
       Eugene Johnson, 45, filed an application for clemency on
       Wednesday. The other inmate, Terrick Nooner, did not file an
       application by Monday's noon deadline.
       Of the eight men whose execution dates were set this month by
       Gov. Asa Hutchinson, Johnson is the first to apply for clemency.
       Neither Bruce Earl Ward nor Don Davis, both scheduled to be put
       to death on Oct. 21, applied for clemency by a Sept. 21
       deadline. The executions would be the first in Arkansas in
       almost a decade.
       Inmates scheduled to be executed have until 40 days before the
       execution to file a clemency application. Clemency can be
       granted in two forms— a pardon, which is total forgiveness of
       the crimes, or a reduction in the criminal sentence.
       Ward and Davis were granted an extension at the board's
       discretion because 40 days before the execution fell soon after
       Hutchinson scheduled the dates. Solomon said the board has the
       discretion to make exceptions in the "interest of justice."
       After the clemency hearing is complete, the board will make a
       decision within 72 hours. That recommendation for or against
       clemency will go to Hutchinson for the final say. Hutchinson's
       spokesman, J.R. Davis, said there is no timeline for when the
       governor must decide on a clemency recommendation other than
       before the set time of execution.
       Four more inmates are scheduled to be executed in December and
       January.
