Oklahoma's Pardon and Parole Board voted 4-1 Tuesday to deny clemency for a man sentenced to die for killing his 9-month-old daughter in 2002, moving him a step closer to his scheduled lethal injection next month.

Assistant Attorney General Tessa Henry said Cole killed his daughter because he was infuriated that her crying from her crib interrupted his playing of a video game.

Prosecutors noted that the infant had numerous injuries consistent with a history of abuse and that Cole had previously served time in prison in California for abusing another child. “The first time I got to see Brianna in person was lying in a casket,” said Donna Daniel, the victim’s aunt. “Do you know how horrible it is to see a 9-month-old baby in a casket?Cole is scheduled to receive a lethal injection on Oct. 20 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. However, his attorneys still are awaiting a decision from a Pittsburg County judge on whether a trial will be held to determine if Cole is competent to be executed.

Oklahoma governor, May 2022: “In Oklahoma we will always stand up for life.” Also Oklahoma: Can’t wait to kill this guy!

How about cutting a deal? Abololish the death penalty, but reinstate corporal punishment.

20yrs waiting for real justice, damn shame

Nope. Time for him to go.

Killer balls

I'm ambivalent on the death penalty However if this guy is as messed up as they are claiming, it seems that putting him down would be the merciful thing, rather than letting him suffer for x number of years (at taxpayers expense.)

Deng, jack dorsey not looking too good

He needs a priest exorcist

Good stuff.

2002? He got 20 years that baby did not get a chance to experience. He should have been executed a long time ago.

I'm of mixed mind on the death penalty. But this guy seems like a good candidate if we're going to have it.

Who was the 1?

Clemency is putting him out of his psychotic misery.

The city is isolating them for control. Makes it harder to escape when there is water to one side. They will be isolated from mutual aid. Nasty stuff.
