Clark’s the first of two inmates set to receive lethal injection this week. Against the advice of his attorneys, Clark testified during his trial’s punishment phase, saying, “I really ain’t got no story to tell. It’s just I want the death penalty.”Prosecutors also presented evidence Clark had committed two other killings, including one that occurred after Muse’s death but prior to his arrest. Bobby Mims, one of Clark’s trial attorneys, said Clark denied killing Muse. Mims said he doesn’t know if evidence of Clark’s troubled life would have made a difference with the jury.
