Alabama death row inmate Michael Jeffrey Land has asked Gov. Bob Riley to stop his execution, scheduled for Thursday, because of good deeds he says he has performed while in prison.

Land filed a clemency petition Monday with Riley's office. Without a stay or clemency, Land is to be executed at 6 p.m. Thursday at Holman Prison in Atmore for the May 1992 killing of Candace Brown.
