Oklahoma Death Row

A US judge halted the scheduled executions of eight inmates in Arkansas on Friday, preventing what would have been the state's first lethal injections in a decade amid controversy over the drugs used.

An Oklahoma court granted a last-minute reprieve to death row inmate Richard Glossip, who has long proclaimed his innocence, by granting a brief stay of execution on Wednesday.

A death row inmate in Oklahoma who unsuccessfully sought to ban a controversial drug used in lethal injections will ask the Supreme Court to consider if capital punishment is constitutional, his lawyer said Friday.

A group of Oklahoma death row inmates scheduled to die early next year filed notice on Tuesday stating they intend to appeal the ruling of a federal judge who says the state's new lethal injection protocol is constitutional.

Two months after a botched execution in Oklahoma, 21 death row inmates in the southern US state filed suit on Wednesday against prison authorities on procedures to put convicts to death.

The US Supreme Court rejected two appeals for death row inmate Marcus Wellons late Tuesday, clearing the path for his execution in what would be the first since a botched lethal injection.

Three US death row inmates have filed new appeals seeking to stop their executions citing apparent suffering by a prisoner put to death in a botched procedure in Oklahoma last month.

Two Oklahoma death row inmates scheduled to be executed next month sued state corrections officials Wednesday for details about the drugs that will be used to execute them, including their source.
