Go Jamaica "Human rights group Amnesty International is trying to convince the Governor of the US State of Virginia to reduce the sentence of a Jamaican man who is due to be executed today.
Edward Nathaniel Bell, 44, has been convicted of the 1999 murder of a police officer.
Prosecutors said Bell shot the sergeant in the face because he feared the officer would find him carrying a gun or drugs.
Amnesty International is claiming that Bell was convicted despite woefully deficient legal representation and serious questions about his guilt.
It also claims Bell might be mentally retarded."
