Oklahoma Inmate Emmanuel Littlejohn Faces Execution Amid Clemency Appeal

Emmanuel Littlejohn, a death row inmate facing execution for a 1992 robbery killing, is making a last-ditch effort for clemency as his execution date approaches. With a press conference urging Governor Stitt to grant mercy and over 10,000 signatures collected to halt the execution, supporters argue that mercy is not only a prudent decision but also a profound act of faith. A parole board has recommended against his execution, leaving the ultimate decision in the hands of the governor. As Oklahoma plans to proceed with its third execution of 2024, the situation remains tense with Littlejohn's fate hanging in the balance.
