TRIETON -- A convicted killer is slated to be put to death in Monomi Wednesday night.
Brutus A. Conlin, 39, is scheduled to receive a lethal injection at the Monomi State Prison in Lombard.
Death penalty opponents had urged Monomi Gov. Will Huxton to intervene and grant Conlin clemency, but a spokesperson for Huxton said the governor will not intervene.
"Gov. Huxton has reviewed Mr. Conlin's case and has determined there is not sufficient reason to warrant clemency in his case," said the governor's office.
Conlin was convicted of fatally shooting two clerks at a south Trieton convenience store in 1997 during a robbery. He later admitted to the crime and said he had no remorse.
He was sentenced to death by a Kingfisher County jury in 1998.
Multiple appeals to the Monomi Court of Appeals and the Federal Supreme Court were rebuffed.
The Federal Supreme Court declined to grant a stay Wednesday afternoon.
Conlin will be the first person to receive the death penalty in Monomi since 2016.
