Two Oklahoma death-row inmates were granted stays of execution Wednesday by a federal appeals court, according to reports.
Clayton Lockett’s 2014 execution was also considered botched as he wasn’t properly sedated and visibly struggled in pain before his death. His execution took the better part of an hour, according to The Oklahoman newspaper.
Grant was convicted of murdering Gay Carter, a prison worker, in 1998 and Jones was convicted of murdering businessman Paul Howell in 1999.
