Biography
American homicide.
Robbed a convenience store and shot the clerk to death on 9/08/1985, Oklahoma City, OK. Six months later he shot his dad and step-mom to death on 3/05/1986, 11:15 PM, Oklahoma City. He claimed that he heard voices and was possessed by demons.
Sellers became a Christian while in prison. His friends started a website on his behalf, and he campaigned for clemency based on his religious conversion, age and involvement in Satanism. While on death row, Sellers made numerous appearances in the mass media, appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show and on a notorious segment of Geraldo about Satanism.
Sellers' imminent execution brought condemnation from a wide variety of sources, including the European Union, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the American Bar Association and Bianca Jagger. Nearly all raised issues about his age at the time of the crimes, and many argued that his religious work from prison outweighed the state's need to execute him
Sellers was executed by lethal injection at 12:17 a.m. on 4 February 1999.
Sellers' story is told in "Devil's Child" by Vickie L. Dawkins and Nina Higgins.
