Federal judge denies preliminary injunction, allowing execution of two Oklahoma death row inmates to proceed
CNN
Two Oklahoma death row inmates are set to be executed by lethal injection in the coming weeks after a federal court denied their request for a preliminary injunction to stop a lethal injection execution and be executed by firing squad.
In a ruling filed Friday morning, Judge Stephen Friot wrote that despite Oklahoma's past botched lethal injection executions, lawyers for the inmates had not proven "their executions will entail physical pain more severe than that attendant to the insertion of IV catheters."
