He killed 2 people in Idaho in 1985. Now he's asking the state not to execute him Jacob Scholl, The Idaho Statesman May 11—Attorneys for an Idaho man scheduled to be put to death for a pair of murders are asking state officials to block the execution. Members of the Federal Defender Services of Idaho's capital habeas unit filed a clemency petition on April 19 to the Idaho Commission of Pardons and Parole on behalf of Gerald Ross Pizzuto Jr., who is scheduled to be executed on June 2. Pizzuto signed the clemency petition on April 9, over a month before his death warrant was actually signed. Judge Jay Gaskill, the administrative judge for Idaho's Second Judicial District, did that last Thursday.
