听力题 An inmate condemned to die by injection next week asked the Indiana Parole Board to grant him clemency or at least enough time to donate his liver to his ailing sister. "My sister is sick, she needs a liver," Gregory Scott Johnson said during a hearing Monday. "At this point, everything else—including my own life—is secondary to trying to help her if I can." Johnson, 40, was sentenced to death for the 1985 murder of 82-year-old Ruby Hutslar. Authorities said he broke into her house, beat and stomped on her, then set a fire. His execution is scheduled for May 25. Earl Coleman, assistant for the parole board, said Johnson''s attorney must still prove such a donation is necessary.
