Strange Fruit: The Modern Day Lynching of Nathaniel Woods

Nicole's View

Death row inmate Nathaniel Woods Jr. was executed by lethal injection at 9:01 p.m. Thursday for his role in the 2004 killings of three Alabama police officers -- who were shot by another man at a suspected drug house. Woods, 43, had no last words before becoming the first person to be executed in the state this year, despite efforts on his behalf by Martin Luther King III, Kim Kardashian West, and other supporters. The U.S. Supreme Court denied a request to halt the proceeding Thursday after issuing a temporary stay hours earlier. It was carried out after Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey told the attorney for Woods she had denied a request for clemency. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicoles-view/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nicoles-view/support
