Wow! This is interesting. With all the LI issues in Oklahoma, we now have a double execution.
How does this work? I think execution time is 6.00 pm until midnight. Do they shuffle one lot of witnesses and family in, and then swap them over.
I know they have had double electrocutions, but has there ever been a double LI execution? Who goes first, perhaps lowest prison number?

Texas double execution: August 2000
Cruz's execution began at about 6:30 p.m. because another prisoner, Brian Roberson, was being executed at the customary 6:00 p.m. time. Execution dates are set by local district judges and, as a result, two executions sometimes happen to be scheduled for the same day. Multiple executions are carried out in the same chamber and on the same gurney, although new sheets, needles, and tubing are used each time

After all, we wouldn't want the hump being executed to get an infection or anything, would we?

The times for Lockett and Warner are 6.00pm and 8.00pm respectively, so the execution team has plenty of time to 'refresh' the equipment.

I'd like to know how Texas in 2000 did it so quickly. If everything goes to plan the murderer isn't declared dead until about 6.15. Witnesses, family etc. then leave. They have less than 15 minutes to 'reload', very efficient. Love to know how they organised it all. Don't know how I would feel if I was a member of the execution team. Think I would cope better with a 'refreshment' break as in Oklahoma.

As long as they both go on the 29th I don't care who is 1st, flip a coin, do them at the same time, high card wins, or loses.....

Are they afraid the condemned be affected with HIV?

I hope they both suffer during their executions. They really deserve that.

There is so much interest in this double from international and local press that Oklahoma have to have a ballot to see who gets to be press witnesses.
Lockett asked for a last meal of steak, shrimp and full trimmings. This was denied because it exceeded the $15 limit. Now that is cruel!!. Surely they could cut down the size of portions. I could easily prepare that request for under $15.
So Lockett will be having his standard prison meal, and Warner will be chowing down on his chosen chicken wings.

This Oklahoma Judge has Good Common Sense.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court eventually lifted a stay of execution and ruled the inmates’ claims were “frivolous and not grounded in the law.” Justice Steven Taylor wrote: “The plaintiffs have no more right to the information they requested than if they were being executed in the electric chair, they would have no right to know whether OG&E or PSO were providing the electricity; if they were being hanged, they would have no right to know whether it be cotton or nylon rope; or if they were being executed by firing squad, they would have no right to know whether it be by Winchester or Remington ammunition.”

Execution"s halted. Vein failure with Lockett.

Vein failure would not happen with an electric chair...or at least not in the same contextual meaning.

Apparently lockers execution was botched due to a heart attack, & the second inmate slated for Li got a 14 day stay...

It could be the first drug given too strong, or his vein problem the flow of the other two injections did not flow thru his body fast enough. Facts will come out later on what happened.

The third drug is potassium chloride in a fatal dose all by itself. If it was injected, even if the IV infiltrated, that's what caused the "heart attack." It just took a little longer to absorb than IV administration.

I don't understand what a "vein failure" is. Anyone explain? I suspect the IV "infiltrated," i.e. the needle (or more likely plastic catheter) came out of the vein but was still beneath his skin. When that happens, the IV fluid still goes into the body, but slowly. The fluid eventually absorbs, but much more slowly than if it was injected into a vein, and thus the drugs take effect much more slowly as well.
