Raymond Johnson, a 52-year-old man convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend, Brooke Whitaker, and her 7-month-old daughter, Kya, is scheduled for execution by lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. The tragic events unfolded in June 2007 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when Johnson attacked Whitaker with a metal claw hammer during an argument, inflicting severe injuries. Afterward, he set their home ablaze, leading to the deaths of both victims. Johnson's past includes a 1996 manslaughter conviction, and he has faced unsuccessful appeals regarding the legality of his arrest and his confession. At a clemency hearing, he expressed remorse, stating, 'I apologize. No excuses, no justifications.' However, Whitaker's family has urged for the execution to proceed, emphasizing the need to stop Johnson from causing further harm. If executed, Johnson would be the 11th person executed in the United States this year.
