Inmate Sentenced to Death in 27 Minute Hearing Scheduled for Execution in Georgia

Georgia death row inmate Wallace Fugate is scheduled for execution on Tuesday, June 18th. Fugate was convicted of a murder of his ex-wife, Pattie, in an extraordinarily brief trial that lasted only two days. Fugate, then 42, had no criminal record. The sentencing hearing, where the jury could have heard anything about Fugate's life as a productive citizen, lasted only 27 minutes
