Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board

Oklahoma's next execution may not go forward as originally planned. Attorney General Gentner Drummond is asking Oklahoma's appeals court to switch the order of people scheduled to be killed.

A man who faced execution nine times and had his conviction vacated by the U.S. Supreme Court is asking a judge to enforce what he says is an agreement between him and the state's attorney general that could set him free immediately.

A bill to reduce sentences for domestic abuse survivors who "fail to protect" their children failed in the Oklahoma legislature. Prosecutors say the state law targets enablers, not victims. Advocates argue it overwhelmingly punishes mothers trapped in abusive relationships.

As a result of two recent resignations of Pardon and Parole Board members, a clemency hearing for death row prisoner Kevin Ray Underwood has been postponed.
