John q sanders a criminal on death row. he scheduled for execution in less than a month. he plans on writing a letter asking for reprieve but doesn’t know who to write it to. who is the only person in the state legislator who can grant reprieves, pardons, and stays of execution?

Hello!

The Governor of the state is the only person who can grant stays, reprieves, pardons, and stays of execution.

If it were a Federal crime, then the President can do the same. On a state level though, the Governor handles it.

Hope this helps!! Any questions please just ask! Thank you so much!!

The answer should be a.
