Executive Order 2021-27

I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, by virtue of the Oklahoma Constitution and the laws of the State of Oklahoma, hereby deny clemency to Bigler Jobe Stouffer, II.

On November 17, 2021, the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board recommended, by a vote of 3-2, that the Governor should grant clemency to Bigler Stouffer, II and commute his sentence of death to a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. I have thoroughly reviewed the arguments and evidence presented in this case and have determined that clemency should be denied. The sentence of death shall be carried out as scheduled on December 9, 2021.

This Executive Order shall be forwarded to the Director of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections and the Oklahoma Attorney General who shall cause the provisions of this order to be implemented by all appropriate agencies of state government.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and cause the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City this 3 rd day of December, 2021.
