Richard Stephen Fairchild, who turns 63 on Thursday, is set to receive a lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. Fairchild, an ex-Marine, was convicted of killing Adam Broomhall after the child wet the bed. Prosecutors say Fairchild held both sides of his body against a scorching furnace, then threw him into a table. The child never regained consciousness and died later that day.
Attorneys for Fairchild argue that he was abused as a child, is mentally ill and is remorseful for his actions. "As Richard Fairchild’s brain has deteriorated, he has descended into psychosis, a fact well-documented in his prison records," Emma Rolls, one of Fairchild’s attorneys, said in a statement to the board."Yet despite having lost touch with reality, Richard remains remorseful for his crime and continues to have an unblemished prison record. There is no principled reason for Oklahoma to execute him.
