\n OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) \u2014 Oklahoma\u2019s Pardon and Parole Board on Monday unanimously denied clemency for a death row inmate convicted of kidnapping, raping and killing a 7-year-old girl in 1984, clearing the way for him to be executed later this month. Richard Rojem, 66, denied responsibility for killing his former stepdaughter, Layla Cummings. The child\u2019s mutilated and partially clothed body was discovered in a field in rural Washita County near the town of Burns Flat. She had been stabbed to death.Rojem has exhausted his appeals and is scheduled to receive a lethal injection on June 27. His attorneys argued that he is innocent and that DNA evidence taken from the girl\u2019s fingernails did not link him to the crime. \u201cIf my client\u2019s DNA is not present, he should not be convicted,\u201d attorney Jack Fisher said.Fisher urged the board to recommend clemency to the governor so that Rojem could be spared execution and spend the rest of his life in prison. Gov. Kevin Stitt cannot commute Rojem\u2019s death sentence without a clemency recommendation from the board.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors say there is plenty of evidence other than DNA that was used to convict Rojem, including a fingerprint that was discovered outside the girl\u2019s apartment on a cup from a bar Rojem left just before the girl was kidnapped. A condom wrapper found near the girl\u2019s body also was linked to a used condom found in Rojem\u2019s bedroom, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Crabb said Rojem was previously convicted of raping two teenage girls in Michigan and was angry at Layla Cummings because she reported that he sexually abused her, leading to his divorce from the girl\u2019s mother and his return to prison for violating his parole.<\/p>\n
Rojem, who appeared via a video link from the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, denied that he was responsible for raping and killing Layla.\u201cI wasn\u2019t a good human being for the first part of my life, and I don\u2019t deny that,\u201d said Rojem, handcuffed and wearing a red prison uniform. \u201cBut I went to prison. I learned my lesson and I left all that behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Washita County jury convicted Rojem in 1985 after just 45 minutes of deliberations. His previous death sentences were twice overturned by appellate courts because of trial errors. A Custer County jury ultimately handed him his third death sentence in 2007.Layla Cummings mother did not appear before the pardon\u2019s board, but in a letter to the panel last month she urged them to deny clemency.\u201cEverything she might have been was stolen from her one horrific night,\u201d Mindy Lynn Cummings wrote. \u201cShe never got to be more than the precious seven year old that she was. And so she remains in our hearts \u2014 forever 7.\u201d<\/p>\n
