Judge denies death row inmate delay request, clemency set for Monday
SUMMARY: Judge denies death row inmate Kevin Underwood’s request for a stay of execution ahead of his scheduled execution on December 19 for the 2006 murder of 10-year-old Jamie Rose Bolin, which involved plans to cannibalize her body. Underwood’s execution process has been complicated by turmoil within the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board, including the recent resignation of two appointees and ongoing criminal investigations. Despite his attorneys’ claims that the addition of a new board member could hinder proceedings and potentially violate open meeting laws, the judge ruled against delaying the execution. Clemency is set for discussion on Monday.

Cherokee Nation Chief Chuck Hoskin talks high-speed internet bill and more

The Cherokee Nation recently renewed its motor vehicle compact with Oklahoma, allowing Cherokee citizens outside the Nation to continue accessing car tags.

Additionally, the Cherokee Nation launched the Cherokee Connect broadband initiative, investing $45 million to provide high-speed internet to over 6,000 rural households, aiming to preserve rural communities and cultural heritage. Finally, the Nation withdrew from the Tri-Council, a group with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the United Keetoowah Band, citing disagreements over historical claims.
