A clemency hearing is underway for a 53-year-old inmate. He was convicted of murder in connection with the deaths of two women. The inmate's life is on the line as he faces a scheduled execution.

Further details about the case are available, including the inmate's background and the circumstances of the crime. A decision on clemency will be made by the State Board of Pardons and Paroles.

The execution, if carried out, would be the first in the state this year, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections.
