Oklahoma Inmate Kevin Underwood Faces Execution After Clemency Denial

TL;DR Summary
Oklahoma's Pardon and Parole Board has denied clemency for Kevin Ray Underwood, who is set to be executed for the 2006 murder of 10-year-old Jamie Rose Bolin, a crime he admitted was part of a cannibalistic fantasy. Underwood's attorneys argued for clemency based on his history of mental health issues, but the board unanimously rejected the plea. This execution, scheduled for Underwood's 45th birthday, would be the 25th and final execution in the U.S. for 2024, following another scheduled execution in Indiana.
