OKLAHOMA CITY – House Rep. Jason Lowe, D-Oklahoma City, released the following statement after the Governor denied clemency for death row inmate Emmanuel Littlejohn.
“I am deeply disappointed that Governor Stitt did not follow the recommendation of his hand-picked Pardon and Parole Board to grant clemency and stay the execution of Emmanuel Littlejohn,” said Lowe. “The death penalty should never be used when doubts remain about a defendant's guilt. I will continue to pray for both the Meers and Littlejohn families.”
