Oklahoma will delay the rest of its 2014 scheduled executions until 2015 to allow time to obtain necessary drugs. Attorney General Scott Pruitt filed a notice late Friday seeking to delay the executions of Richard Eugene Glossip, John Marion Grant and Charles Warner until 2015. Warner had been originally scheduled to die on April 29 - the same night that inmate Clayton Lockett writhed and moaned on the gurney, prompting the state to put all executions on hold until a review was conducted. Warner's new execution date is Nov. 13, but Pruitt said in the court filing that Oklahoma does not have the necessary drugs or commitments from medical personnel to carry out the execution. "The state does not want to rush implementation of this new training program, especially so soon after revision of the execution protocol," Pruitt wrote. "The additional requested time for all 3 executions will allow the Oklahoma Department of Corrections sufficient time in which to obtain the necessary drugs and medical personnel and to fully and thoroughly train each member of the new execution team." An attorney representing the death row inmates had no immediate comment Monday on the filing.
