The Oklahoma Board of Pardons and Parole denied clemency in the case of John Hanson May 7, leaving him to face execution in June.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma board denied clemency on Wednesday for a man convicted of killing a Tulsa woman in 1999, clearing the way for his execution next month after the Trump administration expedited his transfer from a federal prison.

Clemency was denied for Oklahoma death row inmate John Fitzgerald Hanson, also known as George John Hanson, who was convicted of the 1999 murder of 77-year-old Mary Bowles.
