Oklahoma is scheduled to execute a death row inmate convicted of shooting and killing two people in Oklahoma City more than two decades ago. Michael DeWayne Smith, 41, faces execution by lethal injection on Thursday at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary after his conviction and death sentence for the slayings of Janet Moore, 41; and Sharath Pulluru, 22, in separate shootings that took place in February 2022.
group that opposes the death penalty plans to protest Smith's execution outside the Governor's Mansion in Oklahoma City on Thursday. The Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty is demanding that Gov. Kevin Stitt halt the execution. The protest comes after Smith's family petitioned the governor on Wednesday to intervene, saying that new evidence in Smith's case showed that witnesses were being coerced during trial, local station KOCO News reported.
