# Breaking News: Killer Emmanuel Littlejohn Executed in Oklahoma
## The Final Moments
Emmanuel Littlejohn, a convicted killer, met his fate through lethal injection in Oklahoma 32 years after committing his crime. As his last meal, he ordered a Maxi-Pizza with meat, two slices of cheesecake, and a cola. The emotional scene unfolded with Littlejohn, strapped to a gurney in the state prison, tearfully saying, “I’m okay,” to his mother who witnessed the execution. His final words to her were, “Everything will be okay. I love you.”
## The Crime
Littlejohn was sentenced to death in 1994 for the murder of convenience store owner Kenneth Meers during a robbery. Meers, aged 31, was shot in the face by one of the robbers while trying to defend his store with a broom. Despite Meers pleading for help, he tragically succumbed to his injuries on the scene. Littlejohn and his accomplice made off with a small sum of money from the store.
## His Denial
Throughout the years, Littlejohn maintained his innocence regarding the fatal shooting of Meers. Even during a recent clemency hearing, he reiterated, “I have confessed to my part. I committed a robbery that had devastating consequences. But I repeat: I did not kill Mr. Meers.” The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board had recommended commuting Littlejohn’s sentence to life in prison with a 3-2 vote.
## Governor’s Decision
Despite the recommendation for clemency, Governor Kevin Stitt declined the request, emphasizing the gravity of the crime committed by Littlejohn. Stitt stated, “Littlejohn murdered an innocent man during a robbery at a grocery store 32 years ago. A jury found him guilty and sentenced him to death. The decision was upheld by multiple judges.” He further emphasized his commitment to upholding justice and providing closure to the families affected by the crime.
## Analysis
The execution of Emmanuel Littlejohn serves as a reminder of the consequences of violent crimes and the judicial system’s stance on such acts. It highlights the importance of accountability for one’s actions and the pursuit of justice for victims and their families. This case underscores the significance of upholding the law and ensuring that perpetrators face the consequences of their deeds, ultimately promoting a safer and more just society for all.
