TULSA, Okla. — Oklahoma restarted its executions, killing both John Grant, Bigler Stouffer and Donald Grant through its lethal injection process over the last few months.

Only one death row inmate is currently scheduled for execution:

James Coddington

James Allen Coddington had been scheduled for execution on March 10 but received a temporary stay.

Coddington is sentenced to death for the 1997 death of Albert Troy Hale, 73, at Hale’s home in Oklahoma County. Prosecutors say Coddington beat Hale in the head with a hammer and robbed him after Hale refused to loan Coddington money to buy cocaine.
