One day after Gov. Mary Fallin (R-OK) issued a surprise order staying a man’s execution just minutes before it was supposed to begin, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt (R) filed a petition in the state’s highest criminal court asking it to indefinitely stay all executions in the state. Pruitt’s request arises from the same set of circumstances that led Fallin to delay the state’s plan to execute an inmate named Richard Glossip.
