Death Penalty In The US: Oklahoma Executes First Inmate Since Botched Injection In April

Oklahoma on Thursday executed its first death row inmate since a botched lethal injection in April forced the state to revise its policies. Charles Warner, who was convicted in the 1990s on charges he sexually assaulted and killed an infant, died at 7:28 p.m., local time. Upon being injected with the first drug, Warner said his body felt like it was on fire, but the Associated Press reported he did not indicate he was in further distress. Warner took 18 minutes to die.
