Georgia board sets clemency hearing for condemned man

ATLANTA -- The man scheduled to be put to death next week for the killing of an Atlanta preschool teacher is getting a clemency hearing.

The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles scheduled a clemency hearing on Friday for Emmanuel Hammond, who was convicted of the July 1988 abduction and murder of 27-year-old Julie Love.

The preschool exercise instructor was pulled inside Hammond's car after she ran out of gas in north Atlanta, and her body was found more than a year later in a trash dump.

Hammond is set to be put to death by lethal injection on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison.
