Governor Stitt Releases Statement After Oklahoma Carries Out Sentence of Emmanuel Littlejohn

From: Oklahoma Governor J Kevin Stitt
September 26, 2024

On September 26, 2024, Governor Kevin Stitt released the following statement after the State of Oklahoma carried out the sentence of Emmanuel Littlejohn:

"These decisions are very difficult and I do not make them lightly. Mr. Littlejohn murdered an innocent man 32 years ago while robbing a convenience store. A jury found him guilty and sentenced him to death. The decision was upheld by multiple judges. As a law and order governor, I have a hard time unilaterally overturning that decision. Today, justice for this life lost was carried out. I hope this brings closure to the families impacted by this murder."
