Executional date for the man who has been in the death cell since 1976

Jackson, Miss. – Mississippi's longest inmate of the death cell is to be carried out on June 25, the Supreme Court of the state decided on Thursday.

The 78 -year -old Richard Gerald Jordan, who was sentenced to death in 1976 for kidnapping and killing a woman, filed several symptoms for the death sentence, the youngest of which was rejected in October.

Mississippi's judgment takes place on the same day of the army fight veteran Jeffrey Hutchinson, which was to be executed in Florida. Before Thursday, 14 people were executed in the USA, including three in Florida.

The order did not indicate how Jordan is executed. The Mississippi Act allows death sentences to be met with a fatal injection, nitrogen gas, electric shock or firing squad.

According to the Mississippi Supreme Court, Jordan Edwina Marter kidnapped in January 1976 and shot her in a forest in Harrison County. Then he called her husband Charles Marter that she was wrong to be safe and asked $ 25,000.

Records show that before the Killing Jordan from Louisiana to Gulfport, Mississippi, had traveled and the Gulf National Bank called, where Charles Marter worked as a loan officer. After he had been told that Marter could speak to him, he hung up, looked at the home address of the Marters and went to the house, which spent himself as an employee of the electrical company.

“After a proper examination, the court found that Jordan exhausted all state and federal remedies to determine a execution,” the judgment said.

Mississippi's last execution was in December 2022.
