Governor Mary Fallin has stayed the execution of Richard Glossip while the state reviews questions about protocol.

Glossip was convicted in the murder of Barry Van Treese, whose killer, Justin Sneed, testified that Glossip hired him to beat the motel owner to death with a baseball bat in 1997.

In 2 cases, killers avoid death penalties

He was sentenced to death in 2004 and is scheduled to receive a three-drug execution cocktail at 3 p.m. at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester.

One-third of that cocktail is a powerful sedative, often used for anesthesia, called midazolam. It’s meant to cause unconsciousness, but opponents say it doesn’t induce the deep unconsciousness necessary to prevent prisoners from experiencing the painful effects of the two other drugs in the protocol.

    It is simply not possible to for me to process the multi-layers of irony.
