Clemency hearing to be held for death row inmate

ATLANTA (AP) The State Board of Pardons and Paroles plans to hold a clemency hearing for a Georgia death row inmate convicted of killing a sheriff's deputy. <br /> <br /> The clemency hearing for Robert Wayne Holsey is set for Monday. Holsey is to be executed Tuesday. A jury in February 1997 convicted Holsey of killing Baldwin County sheriff's deputy Will Robinson. <br /> <br /> Holsey robbed a Milledgeville convenience store in December 1995. The clerk called police immediately afterward and described the robber and his car. <br /> <br /> Robinson pulled Holsey over minutes later. Authorities say Holsey fired at Robinson as the deputy approached the vehicle. <br /> <br /> Holsey's lawyers say he shouldn't be executed because his trial lawyer failed to present evidence that could have spared him the death penalty. <br /> <br /> Clemency hearings are closed to the public and media.
