A preacher to death row inmates says he wants to end executions. Critics warn he’s only seeking fame

With just weeks left before his scheduled execution, Oklahoma death row inmate Anthony Sanchez took the unusual step of firing his attorneys and skipping a clemency hearing that many viewed as the last chance to spare his life. Sanchez's decision, and his relationship with an activist pastor who is a spiritual adviser to death row inmates across the country, has drawn fierce criticism from capital defense attorneys and anti-death penalty groups. Hood is a death row minister associated with national anti-capital punishment organization Death Penalty Action.
