In a last-minute decision, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated a stay of execution for John Marion Grant, clearing the way for his execution hours later at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.

Following a 2015 state court ruling that Oklahoma should re-evaluate its death penalty protocols, then-Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt called for a moratorium on executions until new procedures were written and the necessary drugs could be purchased.

Allbaugh said he often had concerns about the chain of custody or that the drugs could be contaminated. “How do I know what I can get is actually going to be what I need?” he said. “This time reminds me of the last time, the attitude of, ‘You can’t stop us, we’re going ahead,’” Kolar said. “Even if they’re not made to wait, the state should wait and respect the process.”

During prosecution, Osage County District Attorney Larry Stuart said that seeking the death penalty was the only way to assure that Grant could not kill or harm someone else again.

So still no legit meds to send someone on their way w/o torturing them. Find another way, or just stop.

Barbaric

Very good spread it around the rest of the states.

REPUBLICAN PRO-LIFE?

In fairness to his victims you might describe their last moments when grant killed them.

Wouldn’t it be simpler to just do it the old way, a short rope and a tree? Seems more humane honestly.

Dang I hate to hear that! Anyways I’ve got the Braves in game 7 anyone else?

Nasty think I’d prefer to be shot

Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock........Damn, pro-life never wants to answer the door.

I fucking hate this country

Oh well

Excellent work Oklahoma, hopefully more states follow suite. That murder got what he deserved when he chose to stab that women.

Religion is so funny. She generally doesn't condone the death penalty, but in this case it's warranted. If it doesn't directly affect me, it's this opinion, if it somehow affects me in any manner, screw what my religion says, let him die. Kind of hypocritical isn't it.

This just sounds horrific.

Abolish the cruel and brutal Death Penalty in the USA!!!

Seems extremely cruel and harsh to me. Who are these Judges?

Faux pro-lifers approve.

Gee, thanks for sharing every freakin detail. 🤮

In China it’s a bullet in the back at the base of the head and the executed are made into organ donors!

How are the USA better than countries like North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran etc.?

So much for pro-life.

Abolish the inhumane and cruel death penalty.

Disgusting. Why is killing someone so important to GQP?

The court majority are political hacks…
