Oklahoma AG looks to slow lethal injection schedule
Fox News
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond requested the Sooner State's Court of Criminal Appeals set executions 60 days apart, halving the current standard of them being 30 apart.
"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 the motion. "This is especially true given the extensive and intensive nature of the training DOC personnel undergo to prepare for each execution."
Drummond said he made the request after meeting with DOC leaders and staff both before and after Eizember's execution, which was the eighth the state has carried out since resuming lethal injections in October 2021.
