Oklahoma is gearing up for the execution of Emmanuel Littlejohn, a death row inmate convicted for his involvement in the 1992 shooting death of a convenience store owner during a robbery. Littlejohn, 52, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.
Governor Kevin Stitt is currently deliberating on whether to accept a rare clemency recommendation from the state's parole board. Stitt, who has granted clemency only once during his tenure, has met with prosecutors and Littlejohn's attorneys but has not yet reached a decision.
