Mississippi to execute man who has been on death row for nearly 50 years![]() June 25 (UPI) -- The longest-serving death row inmate in Mississippi's history, Richard Jordan, is scheduled to be executed Wednesday evening at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman. Jordan, 79, was convicted and sentenced to death for the Jan. 12, 1976, kidnapping and murder of Edwina Marter, who was a stay-at-home mother of two young sons. Tonight's schedule execution would occur about six months short of Jordan's 50th year in prison, and his attorneys continue seeking a stay of his execution. Jordan was a veteran of three combat tours in Vietnam, where he at times was a helicopter door gunner, earned several medals and an honorable discharge. "Like other veterans, Vietnam forever changed Richard," his most recent clemency petition says. It says Jordan was "traumatized" by his 33 months in combat with the 1st Cavalry Division from 1966 to 1969 after joining the service when he was 18.
