Curtis Osborne (March 1970 – June 4, 2008)[1][2] was an American convicted murderer on death row in Georgia from Spalding County.[3] He murdered Arthur Lee Jones and Linda Lisa Seaborne in 1990 to avoid paying a $400 debt.[3] Johnny Mostiler, his court-appointed attorney, allegedly neglected to inform Osborne that the prosecutor had offered him a life sentence in exchange for a plea bargain, declaring "That little nigger deserves the death penalty."[4][5][6][7] Osborne's case for clemency was championed by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Larry Thompson, who wrote letters to the clemency board pleading for mercy.[8] Former U.S. Attorney General Griffin Bell also spoke on his behalf.[8] His execution was carried out despite these appeals.[9][10]
