Hooper was found guilty  and sentenced to death for the 1993 murders of Cynthia Lynn Jarman, 23-years-old and her two children Tonya, 5-years-old and Timmy, 3-years-old. Hooper was in his pickup truck with Jarman and her children when he placed the gun under her chin and pulled the trigger, still alive he then placed the gun at her temple and ended her life. He then shot each of the children twice in the head to prevent them from being witnesses to their mother’s death and then buried their bodies in a shallow grave near Oklahoma City.

Hooper’s last words were, “I just want to thank God for such an exuberant send-off, also, my family for standing by me throughout all this. I appreciate them being there for me through the hardships. I ask that my spirit be released directly into the hands of Jesus. I’m ready to go, I love you all.”

Oklahoma’s inmate’s request for stay of execution denied

Selsor is scheduled to die on Tuesday, May 1st.

Michael Selsor is the next U.S. death row inmate to face execution.

The Oklahoma inmate’s most recent appeal was rejected by the U.S. Supreme court today. Two weeks ago the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board voted 4-1 against commuting Selsor’s execution to a life sentence.

Michael Selsor killed 55-year-old Clayton Chandler 37 years ago in a Tulsa, Oklahoma convenience store robbery. Selsor was 20 years old at the time of his crime.

Barring an intervention by Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, Selsor will die on Tuesday, May 1st. But he might have luck on his side, Fallin granted a stay of execution to Garry Allen 2 weeks ago.
