Oklahoma County convicted killer Emmanuel A. Littlejohn on Wednesday is expected to ask the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board to recommend clemency.
Littlejohn, 52, is set to die Sept. 26 for the 1992 shooting death of Kenny Meers , 31, during a convenience store robbery.
“Emmanuel Littlejohn is a violent and manipulative criminal who refuses to take responsibility for his actions,” said Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond. “The family of Kenny Meers has waited 32 long years for justice to be served. The death penalty is the appropriate punishment, and I urge the Pardon and Parole Board to ensure that justice is done.”
If the five-member board recommends clemency, Gov. Kevin Stitt would have the final word.
