Oklahoma’s attorney general has asked the state’s highest appeals court to set execution dates for 25 death row inmates following a federal judge’s rejection of their challenge to the state’s lethal injection method.

FILE - This Feb. 5, 2021, photo provided by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections shows James Coddington. In a request filed Friday, June 10, 2022, Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor is asking the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to set execution dates for 25 death row inmates, including Coddington.

“For the sake of the victims' families, many of whom have waited for decades — as many executions as possible are set four weeks apart,” O'Connor wrote. Coddington was convicted and sentenced to die for the 1997 hammer killing in Choctaw of co-worker Albert Hale, who prosecutors said had refused to lend Coddington $50 to buy drugs.

Glossip, who was twice convicted and sentenced to die for killing Barry Van Treese, the owner of the motel where Glossip worked, has maintained his innocence.

Oklahoma official seeks execution dates for 25 inmatesOklahoma's attorney general has asked the state's highest appeals court to set execution dates for 25 death row inmates following a federal judge's rejection of their challenge to the state’s lethal injection method. In 25 similar filings with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals on Friday, Attorney General John O'Connor wrote that the federal court's stays of execution are no longer in place and that therefore there are no longer any legal impediments to executing the inmates, who have exhausted their appeals. The state Department of Corrections has asked that the first execution be set no earlier than Aug. 25, O'Connor wrote. Oklahoma AG does look like criminal indeed 😉
