Atlanta, GA – The State Board of Pardons and Paroles has thoroughly reviewed and considered all of the information contained in the second clemency application presented on behalf of Warren Lee Hill. The Board has denied the request to reconsider its decision of July 16, 2012. The second clemency application on behalf of Warren Lee Hill, requesting his execution be stayed and that his sentence of death be commuted to a sentence of life without parole, is denied.

In 1991, a jury convicted Warren Lee Hill of murder and sentenced him to death.  Hill was serving a life sentence for the 1986 murder of his girlfriend, when he killed Joseph Handspike, another inmate at the Lee Correctional Institute, on August 17, 1990.

Hill is scheduled to die by lethal injection on February 19, 2013, at 7:00 p.m., at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson, Georgia.
