Fairchild was sentenced to death for beating his girlfriend's three-year-old son to death in Del City in 1993.

The clemency petition argues Fairchild did not receive effective legal representation during his trial. Fairchild was diagnosed with a brain injury from boxing when he was younger, a fact that petitioners say should spare him from the death penalty.
