Death row inmate Kevin Underwood speaks before Pardon and Parole Board at clemency hearing
SUMMARY: During a clemency hearing, Kevin Underwood’s mental health was the focus as he sought mercy for the brutal 2006 murder of ten-year-old Jamie Rose Boleyn. Underwood apologized to Boleyn’s family, acknowledging he deserved to die for his actions. His attorneys argued he suffered from severe mental health issues and a traumatic childhood, while the state contended he could have stopped his violent plans. Ultimately, the Pardon and Parole Board sided with the jury’s conviction, denying clemency. Attorney General Gentner Drummond expressed satisfaction with the decision, echoed by the supportive response from Boleyn’s family during the hearing.
