OKLAHOMA CITY (Aug. 7, 2024) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond expressed disappointment over the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board's 3-2 vote recommending clemency for Emmanuel Littlejohn.
The death row inmate was convicted of murdering 31-year-old Kenny Meers during a convenience store robbery in June 1992. His execution is scheduled for Sept. 26.
The Attorney General appeared before the board to oppose clemency and made the following remarks after the hearing:
“I am disappointed by the Pardon and Parole Board decision today but appreciate their thoughtful deliberation. I remain steadfast that the family of Kenny Meers has waited far too long for justice to be done. My office intends to make our case to the governor why there should not be clemency granted to this violent and manipulative killer."
