A clemency hearing for convicted killer Roderick Davie is scheduled for Wednesday in Columbus.

Davie has been convicted of the June 27, 1991 murders of Tracey Jefferys and John Coleman and the attempted murder of John Everett. The three were all employees of the Veterinary Companies of America. Davie had been a former VCA worker and had been fired a few weeks before the murders.

Right now, officials said Roderick Davie will not be presenting his side at the clemency hearing. However, prosecutors and victims plan to make the three-hour trip to give their side of what happened.

One person, who has been waiting for 19 years for the chance to speak, is Everett. He said he wants to tell the parole board about that horrific day that claimed the life of his two friends and almost ended his.

"He tried to shoot me three times and run me over with a truck, and he beat me with a stick also," Everett said.

Prosecutor Dennis Watkins said Davie is truly one of the "worst of the worst." He said Davie showed no mercy for his victims and believes no mercy should be shown to Davie.

If Davie is not granted clemency, and barring any last minute appeals, his execution is set for August 10.
