Kim Kardashian West is continuing her advocacy work by asking Donald Trump to halt the scheduled execution of Brandon Bernard.
According to Page Six, Kardashian has tweeted about her pleas to save Bernard, who is scheduled to be executed in less than 24 hours.
“Having gotten to know Brandon, I am heartbroken about this execution. I’m calling on @realDonaldTrump to grant Brandon a commutation and allow him to live out his sentence in prison,” Kardashian wrote.
Bernard is currently being housed at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana while awaiting execution. If his sentence is not commuted, he would become the ninth federal prisoner to be executed following the Trump administration’s decision to end a 17-year hiatus on federal executions earlier this year.
Tuesday, Judge James Sweeney of the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Indiana denied a stay of execution request by Bernard’s team.
Court documents state that Bernard was one of five members of the 212 Piru Bloods gang that carried out a robbery that led to the deaths of Todd and Stacie Bagley on the Fort Hood military base in Killeen, Texas, in 1999, when he was 18-years-old.
Brandon Bernard, a 40-year-old father is going to be executed tomorrow by our federal government. Having gotten to know Brandon, I am heartbroken about this execution. I’m calling on @realDonaldTrump to grant Brandon a commutation and allow him to live out his sentence in prison. https://t.co/soccUQFmac
