Clemency for Kevin Johnson

Kevin “KJ” Johnson, a Black youth, was sentenced to death for the killing of a white police officer, a crime committed as a 19-year-old traumatized teen, who had suffered from abuse, violence, and neglect his entire life, then grieving the sudden and tragic death of his 12-year-old brother just hours before. Despite many erroneous and unfair court rulings, grossly ineffective counsel, and racist prosecutorial policies, KJ is scheduled for execution on November 29, 2022.
