Emmanuel Littlejohn Set For Execution This Week In 1992 Case

Emmanuel Littlejohn 2018

OKLAHOMA CITY –

Stitt has not publicly indicated any plans to grant clemency for Littlejohn, despite a recommendation from the Pardon and Parole Board last month.

Littlejohn has been on death row for 30 years after being sentenced to death for his part in a deadly Oklahoma City robbery in 1992. In separate trials, a jury found him and his co-accomplice Glenn Bethany guilty. Bethany was sentenced to life in prison.

But Littlejohn’s defense has long argued it was Bethany who pulled the trigger. Bethany and prosecutors have always maintained it was Littlejohn, referring to witness reports.

The owner of the convenience store the pair robbed, Kenneth Meers, was shot and killed during the crime.
