Alabama Death Penalty Case Questioned

 

 

Toforest Johnson’s case is currently under appeal. He has received support for a new trial from more than a dozen former Alabama prosecutors, judges, and state bar presidents, as well as Jefferson County District Attorney Danny Carr. Former Alabama Attorney General Bill Baxley, a self-described “lifelong defender of the death penalty,” is among those calling to overturn Johnson’s conviction. “[T]he guy is not guilty,” Baxley said. “The guy is innocent.”
