OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Two death row inmates scheduled to die this month have filed an emergency request to stay their executions with the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
Lawyers for Clayton Lockett and Charles Warner filed on Friday a request to stay the inmates' executions until the state complies with a March Oklahoma District Court ruling requiring them to disclose the origins of the drugs to be used in their executions.
Lockett and Warner sued the state in February over the "veil of secrecy" surrounding state execution protocol. The inmates wanted to know more about the origins of the drugs that would be used to kill them.
Lockett is set to be executed April 22nd, and Warner is set to die a week later.
