Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders Criticized Over Death Row Inaction

Katie Daniel, a resident of Fayetteville, has publicly criticized Sarah Sanders for her refusal to set execution dates for death row inmates during her nearly four years in office. The criticism centers on the case of Don Davis, who was convicted of the 1990 capital murder of Jane Daniel in Rogers.

Daniel alleges that Davis has exhausted all appeals over the course of 34 years, yet the governor has not scheduled a single execution. According to Daniel, the governor has ignored multiple letters from the victim's family requesting that the sentence be carried out.

Daniel characterizes the inaction as a lack of compassion for crime victims and suggests that the governor's refusal to set dates demonstrates an opposition to capital punishment.
