In McAlester, Randall Eugene Cannon was executed for the June 24, 1985 slaying of Addie Hawley, 84.
Cannon, 42, was pronounced dead at 6:05 p.m. after receiving a lethal combination of drugs. Cannon appealed to the Supreme Court Monday, arguing that justices' June ruling requiring that juries not judges hand down death sentences indirectly affected his case.
But justices, who were asked to apply that ruling retroactively to older cases like Cannon's, declined to hear the case.
