Oklahoma AG asking for delay in executions
By K. Querry-Thompson

Just days after taking office, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond has filed a motion to delay several executions in the state.
Drummond filed a motion with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, requesting that seven impending executions be conducted with more time between each event.
He says the current schedule is putting pressure on understaffed DOC employees.
“I was honored to spend time with these outstanding men and women who work every month to carry out the State’s highest punishment and deliver justice to the families of victims,” Drummond said. “I observed their respect for the solemnity of their duty. I saw their regard for the family and loved ones of victims. Oklahoma is fortunate to have dedicated public servants who are willing to train for and carry out a task of such gravity.”
Oklahoma has had four executions over nearly five months and 21 others are pending.
“As is to be expected, DOC leadership and personnel have continuously sought to learn and improve during the process,” states the Jan. 17 filing. “One aspect that has become clear over time is that the current pace of executions is unsustainable in the long run, as it is unduly burdening the DOC and its personnel. This is especially true given the extensive and intensive nature of the training DOC personnel undergo to prepare for each execution.”
If granted, the request would delay the executions for Richard Glossip, Jermaine Cannon, Anthony Sanchez, Phillip Hancock, James Ryder, Michael Smith, and Wade Lay.
The executions would be pushed back by 60 days.
Before filing the motion, Drummond says he visited with family members of the victims of the inmates to explain the reason for the request.
“I do not take lightly this request,” Drummond said. “These families have waited many years to see justice done, and I am grateful for their understanding in this matter.

"There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche
Execution date rescheduled for July 20, 2023.

Place your bets, ladies and gents! What excuse is Drummond going to use to stop this execution?
Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.
"They will hurt you. They will hurt your grandma, these people. The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters
None. It’s Glossip that Drummond has the problem with.

DEATH ROW PRISONER CONVICTED IN 1995 TULSA MURDER TO HAVE CLEMENCY HEARING
By Amy Slanchik
newson6.com
TULSA, Okla. - A man set to be executed next month for murdering a Tulsa mother in 1995, will have his clemency hearing Wednesday.
Jemaine Cannon was convicted of beating and stabbing his girlfriend, Sharonda Clark. Cannon has always said it was in self-defense.
Cannon's attorney, along with some lawmakers and the Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, spoke on Tuesday to reporters about the case.
In 1991, Cannon was serving time in prison for assault, when he escaped while taking part in a prison work program.
Prosecutors said he went to his girlfriend's apartment and stabbed her to death, near 41st and Sheridan. Cannon left the state and police ended up arresting him in Flint, Michigan.
He was convicted of Clark's murder in 1996. Cannon's attorney said Cannon was "denied his right to testify" during his trial.
"There's a dispute as to who attacked whom first. There is evidence to support the idea that the decedent came after Mr. Cannon with a butcher knife. She got the worst of the exchange and died,” Mark Henricksen said.
In a statement, Tulsa County DA Steve Kunzweiler says in part, "...A judge and jury decided the death penalty was a fitting punishment for Cannon, a decision that should be respected. He exhausted all of his appeals and now must face the consequences of his actions. Sharonda Clark's family deserves to see justice for their lost loved one."
The pardon and parole board will vote on Wednesday whether to recommend Cannon get clemency.

Oklahoma Pardon & Parole Board denies clemency for death row inmate Jemaine Cannon
By Miranda Vondale Foster
Fox 25
OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Clemency for death row inmate Jemaine Cannon was denied on Wednesday.
Cannon went before the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board on Wednesday, presenting his evidence that he murdered a woman as an act of self-defense.
In 1995, Cannon murdered Sharonda Clark in her Tulsa apartment. He was sentenced to death row in 1996.
Cannon's lawyer, Mark Henrickson, said that Cannon's legal team during the murder trial failed him by not submitting evidence that would prove Cannon's claim of self-defense.
"He wanted to present his self-defense presentation, his explanation, and his public defenders declined to permit him to do that," said Henrickson. "You have the right to testify, you should listen to the advice of your lawyer, but at the end of the day, it is your decision. That did not happen in this case."
Since Cannon was not granted clemency, he remains slated to be executed on July 20, 2023.

On July 14, Cannon filed for a stay of execution to the federal district court.
