Parole Board denies clemency
The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board has unanimously denied clemency for a 32-year-old man facing execution for killing two men in southern Oklahoma. The decision came Monday after testimony from the condemned man, Michael P. DeLozier, and from the family of his victims. DeLozier is set to die by injection July 9 for the 1995 killings of Paul Steven Morgan and Orville Lewis Bullard. The men were shot and robbed while camping along the Glover River in McCurtain County. Defense attorneys argued that DeLozier’s methamphetamine use and abuse by his stepfather played roles in his behavior. Morgan’s widow and Bullard’s son urged board members to allow the execution to go forward.
