Coal County killer scheduled to die

[Informer]

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has set an execution date for a Coal County man convicted in the 1991 killing of his 11-year-old niece.

The court on Friday set a Sept. 25 execution date for 52-year-old Jessie James Cummings.

Cummings was convicted of first-degree murder for the deaths of his 42-year-old sister Judy Ann Moody Mayo and her daughter, 11-year-old Melissa Moody. An appeals court later reversed Cumming's conviction for Mayo's murder.

Edmondson requested the execution date earlier this month after the U.S. Supreme Court denied Cumming's final appeal of his conviction.

Oklahoma already has executed one death row inmate this year — and Kevin Young is scheduled to die July 22 for a 1996 killing in Oklahoma City.

Outstanding, another one off the count soon.
