Oklahoma is preparing to execute a man for a 2001 double slaying despite his claims that he acted in self-defense. Phillip Hancock, 59, is scheduled to receive a three-drug lethal injection at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. Oklahoma's Pardon and Parole Board voted 3-2 this month to recommend Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt spare Hancock's life, but Stitt had taken no action on the recommendation by early Thursday morning.
