Oklahoma Death Row inmate Wendell Grissom to appeal for clemency

Death Row inmate Wendell Grissom will appear before the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board on Wednesday for a clemency hearing, according to officials.

Grissom was sentenced to death in the deadly 2005 shooting of Amber Matthews.

During his trial, Grissom admitted to shooting Matthews twice.

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond says Grissom is a "cold-blooded killer," and "...demands that justice be carried out."

Grissom is set to be executed on March 20.
