John Hanson is scheduled to be executed in Oklahoma on 12 June 2025 for a murder of a woman during a 1999 crime spree involving him and another man. Evidence that his co-defendant, convicted of a second murder, had confessed to shooting the woman, led a judge to order a new trial for John Hanson but this was overturned. Before the state trials, John Hanson was sentenced to life imprisonment on federal charges and held in federal prison. We urge the governor to stop this execution and work for its commutation.
