Oklahoma death row inmate faces execution Tuesday

It's been almost 37 years since Debbie Huggins' father was shot to death during a robbery at a Tulsa convenience store where both of her parents worked.

On Tuesday, the man who was twice convicted of killing Clayton Chandler is scheduled to die by lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.

Michael Bascum Selsor was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Chandler, the store's 55-year-old manager who was shot eight times in a September 15th, 1975, robbery that netted the thieves a little more than $500.

Huggins says Selsor's 1976 trial, his 1998 retrial and the many appellate court decisions that have impacted the case over three decades has kept the memory of her father's violent death fresh in the minds of his family members.
