Execution

For the third time in 2022, Oklahoma has executed a death row inmate. James Allen Coddington was pronounced dead by lethal injection at 10:16 a.m. this morning. He was 50.

For the second time in 2022 and just the fourth time in seven years, Oklahoma has executed a death row inmate.

Six years after pausing the administration of the death penalty in the state, Oklahoma carried out an execution on Thursday that did not go according to plan. During injection of the three-drug cocktail, inmate John Grant convulsed more than two dozen times and vomited, before losing consciousness and dying in the execution chamber. Witnesses described a gruesome sight, and the Grant execution casts doubt over the next executions the state is planning, including that of Julius Jones.
