James Coddington, 50, convicted of 1997 killing, given lethal injection at state penitentiary after parole plea falls on deaf ears
Oklahoma executed a man on Thursday for a 1997 killing, after the Republican governor rejected his appeal for clemency and a recommendation from the state pardon and parole board that his life be spared.
James Coddington, 50, received a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in McAlester and was pronounced dead at 10.16am.
