The state's new attorney general asked Oklahoma's Court of Criminal Appeals to slow down the pace of upcoming executions.
Oklahoma's Court of Criminal Appeals on Tuesday granted a request by the state's new attorney general to slow down the pace of upcoming executions.spaced about a month apart. The state's new attorney general, Gentner Drummond, filed a motion last week requesting at least 60 days between executions, arguing that carrying out an execution a month was not sustainable.
"One aspect that has become clear over time is that the current pace of executions is unsustainable in the long run, as it is unduly burdening the [Department of Corrections] and its personnel," Drummond wrote in his motion."This is especially true given the extensive and intensive nature of the training DOC personnel undergo to prepare for each execution."
