USA - Oklahoma. Governor Mary Fallin this evening issued a stay of execution for Charles Warner

Governor Mary Fallin this evening issued a stay of execution for one inmate after prison officials said another inmate’s veins collapsed during an earlier execution procedure. “I have asked the Department of Corrections to conduct a full review of Oklahoma's execution procedures to determine what happened and why during this evening's execution of Clayton Derrell Lockett," said Fallin. “I have issued an executive order delaying the execution of Charles Frederick Warner for 14 days to allow for that review to be completed." Lockett's execution was halted when it appeared the lethal injection administered to him was ineffective. He remained unconscious and passed away in the execution chamber at 7:06 p.m. Execution officials said Lockett remained unconscious after the lethal injection drugs were administered. Warner was scheduled to be executed 2 hours after Lockett's procedure began, at 8 p.m.. His execution was first stayed by Corrections Director Robert Patton. Warner's execution is now scheduled for May 13.
