By Heide Brandes OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Oklahoma's attorney general has agreed to a six-month stay of execution for a death row inmate whose capital punishment had been temporarily suspended because of a botched execution in April that was widely criticized as cruel and inhumane. In a court filing on Thursday, the office said it would not object to the stay for Charles Warner, who raped and murdered an 11-month-old baby, as it looks into what went wrong with the previous execution. Warner had been scheduled to be put to death two hours after the April 29 execution of convicted murderer Clayton Lockett, but Lockett's execution was halted during the procedure due to problems with the lethal injection that left him squirming and mumbling on a death chamber gurney. Lockett died of an apparent massive heart attack 43 minutes after the start of the lethal injection process. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
