‘We can’t play God’: daughter opposes death penalty for mother’s killer

Terryln Hall was just six when Joe Nathan James Jr shot her mother, Faith, in Alabama but 30 years on is asking for mercy

Terryln Hall was just six years old when her mother, Faith, was fatally shot by a former boyfriend.

Now, nearly 30 years later, Hall and her sister - along with their uncle - oppose Alabama's plan to execute the man who killed their mother. Unless a judge or the governor intervenes, Joe Nathan James Jr, 49, will die by lethal injection on Thursday evening at a south Alabama prison.
