Oklahoma executed Richard Rojem Jr., 66, on Thursday for the 1984 kidnapping, rape, and murder of his 7-year-old former stepdaughter, Layla Cummings. After spending more than 40 years on death row, Rojem, who had been in prison since 1985, was the longest-serving inmate on Oklahoma’s death row. He received a three-drug lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester and was declared dead at 10:16 a.m. This marks the final chapter of justice for the family of Layla Cummings.
