    Morris was the lone yes. Not a good look for him at all these past two hearings.

    Attorneys of death row inmate Richard Fairchild file for emergency stay of execution

    As Oklahoma continues moving forward with executions, attorneys for Richard Fairchild have filed an emergency stay of execution for his execution slated for tomorrow morning.

    Fairchild's attorneys filed an emergency application in the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals in an attempt to stay his execution scheduled for November 17, which also happens to be Fairchild's birthday.

    Fairchild has been on death row since 1996 after he was convicted for killing his girlfriend's 3-year-old son, Adam Broomhall, back in 1993.

    The stay application and accompanying motion for competency proceedings explain to the court that Fairchild has a longstanding mental illness, which led to a competency evaluation before his trial, has worsened to the point that Fairchild lacks any rational understanding of why Oklahoma is executing him. The motion explains that based on recent interactions with Fairchild, he "is completely out of touch with reality."

    "Richard Fairchild's connection to reality has been tenuous throughout the over 20 years our office has represented him," said his attorney, Emma Rolls. "Based on conversations with him on November 14, it is clear the connection is now severed. He believes his brother is torturing him with a voice recording device from outside the prison and that his brother wants him to be executed in order to obtain millions of dollars that Mr. Fairchild believes his has in the bank."

    Fairchild's attorneys filed for clemency back on October 5, but the petition was denied on October 12.

    Gov. Kevin Stitt could take action, but has never stepped in since there wasn’t a recommendation for clemency.

    Just as I guessed, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals denied Fairchild's emergency application for stay of execution.

    Oklahoma executes man for 1993 killing of 3-year-old boy

    McALESTER, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma executed a man Thursday for the torture slaying of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son in 1993.

    Richard Stephen Fairchild, who turned 63 on Thursday, received a lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester and was declared dead at 10:24 a.m.

    Fairchild, an ex-Marine, was convicted of killing Adam Broomhall after the child wet the bed. Prosecutors say Fairchild held both sides of Adam’s body against a scorching furnace, then threw him into a table. The child never regained consciousness and died later that day.

    “The method of Adam’s murder can only be described as torture,” prosecutors from the Oklahoma attorney general’s office wrote to the state’s Pardon and Parole Board, which voted 4-1 last month against recommending clemency for Fairchild.

    Fairchild’s execution was the seventh since Oklahoma resumed carrying out the death penalty in October 2021 and one of four scheduled nationwide over a two-day stretch. It was the 16th execution in the U.S. this year, including one in Texas and one in Arizona on Wednesday, up from last year’s three-decade low of 11. An execution was also scheduled for later Thursday in Alabama. Oklahoma’s attorney general this summer asked the state’s top criminal appeals court to set more than two dozen execution dates.

    Attorneys for Fairchild argued that he was abused as a child, was mentally ill and was remorseful for his actions.

    “As Richard Fairchild’s brain has deteriorated, he has descended into psychosis, a fact well-documented in his prison records,” Emma Rolls, one of Fairchild’s attorneys, said in a statement to the Pardon and Parole Board. “Yet despite having lost touch with reality, Richard remains remorseful for his crime and continues to have an unblemished prison record. There is no principled reason for Oklahoma to execute him.”

    Fairchild’s attorneys filed last-minute appeals Wednesday with Oklahoma’s Court of Criminal Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court, but both courts denied his requests Thursday morning.

    Earlier Thursday, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals denied a request from death row inmate Richard Glossip for a hearing to determine whether a co-defendant sought to recant his testimony that Glossip hired him to kill motel owner Barry Van Treese.

    Glossip’s attorneys allege evidence was withheld by prosecutors, including interviews with witnesses. The court rejected a similar request by Glossip earlier this month and on Thursday ruled that the matters are not eligible for review because they either were settled previously by courts, could have been presented in earlier appeals or were not raised within 60 days of their discovery.

    Glossip is scheduled for execution in February.

    The U.S. has seen waning support in recent years for the death penalty across all political parties. About 6 in 10 Americans favor the death penalty, according to the General Social Survey, a major trends survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. While a majority continue to express support for the death penalty, the share has declined steadily since the 1990s, when nearly three-quarters were in favor.
