    Governor Fallin Issues Stay of Richard Glossip Execution


    While State Reviews Protocol Questions
    OKLAHOMA CITY Governor Mary Fallin has issued a 37 day stay of Richard Glossips
    execution to address legal questions raised today about Oklahomas execution protocols. The
    stay will give the Department of Corrections and its attorneys the opportunity to determine
    whether potassium acetate is compliant with the states court-approved execution procedures.
    Last minute questions were raised today about Oklahomas execution protocol and the
    chemicals used for lethal injection, said Fallin. After consulting with the attorney general and
    the Department of Corrections, I have issued a 37 day stay of execution while the state addresses
    those questions and ensures it is complying fully with the protocols approved by federal courts.
    The new execution date will be Friday, November 6.
    My sincerest sympathies go out to the Van Treese family, who has waited so long to see justice
    done, said Fallin.
    The executive order is available here.
