Response of Two Families to Wednesday’s Clemency Recommendation

One month before his scheduled execution, Emmanuel Littlejohn, a death row inmate in Oklahoma, made a final plea and was recommended for clemency.

Kenneth Meers’ brother pleaded with the board to proceed with Littlejohn’s execution.

According to Bill Meers, Kenneth Meers’ brother, it is only fair for them to reclaim their lives and cherish the good memories they shared with Kenny, if that’s even possible.

When he was at the Root-N-Scoot convenience store, Kenneth Meers, who was 31 years old at that time, encountered two robbers, including Littlejohn, who robbed him. In an attempt to defend himself, Meers charged at the robbers with a broom, but unfortunately, he was shot in the face.

In both 19194 and 2000, Littlejohn received a conviction for murder and was subsequently sentenced to death.

Littlejohn confessed to the robbery in his final plea on Wednesday, but he maintained that he did not commit murder.

Upon exiting the hearing, Attorney General Gentner Drummond stated, “Our office will present our argument to the governor as to why clemency should not be granted to this dangerous and deceptive murderer.”

The family of Littlejohn is fervently hoping that the governor will give his approval to the board’s recommendations, thereby allowing him to live.

“My son has gone through so much, I think the Lord might need a break from hearing from me,” expressed Ceily Mason, the mother of Littlejohn. “I have prayed and prayed and prayed. Although he made some youthful mistakes, he has grown and deserves a second chance.”

As the Littlejohn family expresses gratitude for their newfound opportunity, the Meers family departs with a range of emotions.

Bill Meers expressed his lack of trust in people and revealed his daily questioning of God by stating, “I don’t have the same trust in people … I question God daily.”

According to a representative from the governor’s office, the clemency request will follow the same protocol as any other request. The governor will convene with the affected families, prosecutors, and defense lawyers before making a final determination.
