And Hurry!

Oklahoma prison inmate Robert Brecheen was found in his cell, overdosed on sedatives, at 9:00 p.m. Officials rushed the convicted murderer to the hospital to be revived, and returned him to the prison just two hours late for his midnight execution by lethal injection. “Certainly, there’s irony” in the case, said Oklahoma Corrections Department director Larry Fields, but, a spokeswoman for the state attorney general added, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that a condemned prisoner “has to be aware of his execution and he has to know why he is being executed.” Guards and defense attorneys — the last to visit Brecheen — are being questioned to determine where the inmate got the drugs.
