ATLANTA (AP) — A day after carrying out the state’s eighth
execution this year, authorities in Georgia on Thursday
announced plans for another one.
William Sallie, 50, is scheduled to die by injection of the
barbiturate pentobarbital on Dec. 6, Georgia Attorney General
Chris Carr said in an emailed statement. Sallie was convicted of
murder in the March 1990 slaying of his father-in-law, John Lee
Moore.
Attorneys for Sallie say unfair juror bias at his trial has
never been properly reviewed because of a missed court filing
deadline. They are asking a federal judge to reopen his case and
hold off on ruling until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a
pending case with similar issues.
Sallie and his wife, Robin, separated in December 1989, and she
sought a divorce after he hit her with a belt, according to a
Georgia Supreme Court summary of Sallie’s case. His wife took
their 2-year-old son and went to live with her parents in rural
Bacon County in south Georgia.
A short time later, during a visit to his son at his in-laws’
house, Sallie abducted the boy and took him to Illinois where he
lived, the summary says. But a court gave his wife custody and
she returned with their son to her parents’ house in February
1990.
Sallie returned to Georgia the next month and used a fake name
to rent a mobile home several counties away from where his
in-laws lived. He also had a friend in Illinois buy him a
pistol.
Dressed in green camouflage, he cut his in-laws’ phone lines and
broke into their house about 12:45 a.m. March 29, 1990. He went
to the master bedroom and shot John and Linda Moore, the summary
says.
Sallie’s lawyers described the shooting as a botched home
invasion during which he intended to take his son.
John Moore was hit by six bullets, including two in his heart.
Linda Moore was shot in the thumb, shoulder and both thighs.
Sallie ran outside to reload and fired two more shots through
the window of the master bedroom, where his wife and her
17-year-old sister were trying to help their parents. Those
shots didn’t hit anyone.
Sallie eventually went back into the house and handcuffed his
wife’s 9-year-old brother and his injured mother-in-law to a bed
rail. Sallie then took his wife and her sister to his mobile
home, leaving his son behind, the summary says.
His wife’s mother and brother managed to free themselves after a
few hours and got a neighbor to call police.
Sallie released his wife and her sister that night and was
arrested a short time later.
A juror in Sallie’s trial lied during jury selection and failed
to disclose traumatic experiences in her own past that were
“bizarrely similar” to the case and later bragged to an
investigator that she convinced other jurors to sentence Sallie
to death, his lawyers said. When defense attorneys, who
discovered this issue in 2012, tried to raise it in a federal
appeal, they were denied because a filing deadline was missed
years earlier while Sallie was trying to find attorneys to
handle his post-conviction appeals.
In a court filing Tuesday, Sallie’s attorneys asked a federal
judge to reopen his case, saying a ruling in a case pending
before the U.S. Supreme Court could establish grounds for
allowing Sallie’s federal appeal to go forward. But a ruling in
that case may not come before Dec. 6.
Georgia has already executed eight inmates this year — most
recently Steven Spears on Wednesday. That’s more than any other
state, including Texas, which has executed seven inmates this
year. It’s the most inmates the state has ever executed in a
calendar year since the reinstatement of the death penalty in
1976. Georgia executed five inmates last year and five in 1987.
