- 3:19Speaker 4: an execution date for the state's longest serving death row
- 3:22Speaker 4: inmate with Moore. Here's Sidney Sumner of Crime Online.
- 3:26Speaker 2: On Tuesday, the Mississippi Supreme Court denied Richard Gerald Jordan's
- 3:29Speaker 2: latest appeal. Hours later, Fitch filed the request to move
- 3:33Speaker 2: forward with his execution by lethal injection. Jordan, now seventy eight,
- 3:37Speaker 2: was sentenced to death in nineteen seventy six for the
- 3:40Speaker 2: kidnapping and murder of Edwena Martyr and Harrison County Court
- 3:43Speaker 2: records reveal that in January nineteen seventy six, Jordan traveled
- 3:47Speaker 2: from Louisiana to Gulfport, Mississippi, after calling Gulf National Bank
- 3:51Speaker 2: imposing as a utility worker, he located Martyr's home address.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Jordan kidnapped her, took her to a forest, and shot her.
- 3:58Speaker 2: He then contacted her husband, falsely claiming she was alive,
- 4:01Speaker 2: and demanded a ransom of twenty five thousand dollars. Jordan
- 4:05Speaker 2: has pursued numerous appeals over the decades. His most recent appeal,
- 4:09Speaker 2: filed in December twenty twenty two, argued that his defense
- 4:12Speaker 2: was denied due process. Specifically, his legal team claimed he
- 4:16Speaker 2: was entitled to a psychiatric expert who would work exclusively
- 4:19Speaker 2: for his defense, rather than a court appointed expert who
- 4:22Speaker 2: reported findings to both the prosecution and defense. However, the
- 4:26Speaker 2: Mississippi Supreme Court ruled that this issue had been raised
- 4:29Speaker 2: in Jordan's previous appeals. The court referenced a prior federal
- 4:33Speaker 2: ruling which determined that the use of a single court
- 4:35Speaker 2: appointed expert did not violate Jordan's constitutional rights.
- 4:39Speaker 4: Chrissy Noble, Jordan's attorney, maintains that the court failed to
- 4:43Speaker 4: properly apply a twenty seventeen US Supreme Court decision that
- 4:47Speaker 4: set a precedent regarding the use of independent mental health
- 4:50Speaker 4: experts in death penalty cases.
