Nathaniel Woods execution upheld despite the killer's confession

Nathaniel Woods, an Alabama convict on death row for the murder of three police officers when they raided a crack house in 2004, has only hours to go until his sentence is scheduled to be carried out. Despite the confession of fellow convict Kerry Spencer, also on death row, that he alone was responsible for shooting and killing the officers while Woods ran, prosecutors have denied pleads for clemency.
