Phillip Hancock is on death row in Oklahoma for the 2001 murders of Robert Jett and James Lynch and is scheduled for execution on Nov 30, 2023. Hancock has always claimed the shootings were in self defense. Oklahoma's aggressive execution schedule marks it as an outlier in its use of the death penalty while the majority of other states are on a downward trend of executions. In the last few years, Oklahoma has been one of only a handful of states that have carried out death sentences - and it continues to do so targeting the poor, the mentally ill and people of color. This particular execution is just one in a series of 25 executions scheduled by Oklahoma in the coming months, despite serious concerns around the state's lethal injection protocols and drugs. Please sign the petition asking Governor Stitt to grant clemency in the case. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-the-execution-of-phillip-hancock-in-oklahoma
