OKLAHOMA CITY – Two condemned inmates at the center of Oklahoma's now-resolved legal confusion will be put to death Tuesday, the state's first double execution since 1937.
Gov. Mary Fallin announced her decision Thursday, a day after the Oklahoma Supreme Court removed one of the final obstacles standing in the way of the executions of Clayton Lockett and Charles Warner.
"The defendants had their day in court. The court has made a decision," Fallin said in a statement. "Two men that do not contest their guilt in heinous murders will now face justice, and the families and friends of their victims will now have closure."
The high court ruled late Wednesday that Lockett and Warner are not entitled to know the source of the drugs that will be used to kill them, information they had sought through a civil lawsuit.

Two convicted murders are scheduled to be executed on the same day. Today the Oklahoma Department of Corrections announced they would execute Clayton Lockett and Charles Warner on April 29.
Warner’s execution will take place at 6:00 p.m. and Lockett’s will be at 8:00 p.m.
This announcement comes after the state Supreme Court dissolved the inmates stay of execution Wednesday night.

Two executions on the same day is very surreal to see. Only 3 or 4 states have done it.

Economies of scale.

Efficiency in government. Unbelievable.

Lockett, 38, was convicted of shooting 19-year-old Stephanie Nieman with a sawed-off shotgun and watching as two accomplices buried her alive in 1999. Warner, 46, was found guilty of raping and killing his roommate's 11-month-old child in 1997.

I'm pro-death penalty in monstrous cases such as this where guilt is not a question, but not allowing the condemned to know the mix of drugs that will kill them is total bullshite, IMV.
The punishers are supposed to be better than the punished, and there's really no need for secrecy on the method unless there's some degree of embarrassment involved. Knowledge of the cocktail mix doesn't serve the condemned for very long, obviously, but it serves us in whose name it's being administered. I want to know how I'm killing somebody. I want that somebody to know how I'm killing him.

While MLB eschews the double-header, Oklahoma embraces it.

I don't get what the big deal is. I'd do them all on the same day of the year. That way they have no delusions of grandeur about how significant the day is. They are just a number. And it's more efficient.

They botched it.
OK botched execution
Because of this, the other guy got his execution stayed.

Clayton Derrell Lockett, who was sentenced to die for shooting a woman in 1999, was rendered unconscious shortly after execution drugs were administered at about 6:23 p.m. local time, according to Jerry Massie, a spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.
But Mr. Lockett later awoke, raised his head and shoulders, and began to mumble in apparent distress, Mr. Massie said. The inmate died at 7:06 p.m. of a massive heart attack, more than 40 minutes after the drugs were first administered.
Because of this, the other guy got his execution stayed.

Sad that it's taken 15 years to kill these pieces of shite. Too bad that he didn't suffer more.

Horrible story. Amazing how many of you don't trust the government to run and administer a food stamp program but are totally okay with it carrying out murder.
