For his last meal, convicted murder Emmanuel Littlejohn's request was rather simple.
Littlejohn chose to dine on a meat-lovers-style pizza, two slices of cheesecake, and Coca-Cola, according to The Journal News.
Littlejohn was convicted in the 1992 shooting death of a convenience store owner during a robbery. While Littlejohn does admit to his role in the robbery, he maintains that he did not fire the fatal shot.
In an interview with NBC last month, Littlejohn stated, "I would have been OK with a life sentence, but a death sentence for robbery? I'm not cool with that."
The death row inmate is scheduled to die by lethal injection on Thursday at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester unless Governor Kevin Stitt steps in with a order of clemency
Oklahoma's method of execution is to administer three drugs into Littlejohn's system: midazolam, vecuronium bromide, and potassium chloride.
Should the execution go forward, Littlejohn's death will mark the fourth execution in the United States in less than a week.
