State of Oklahoma executes James Pavatt, 25 years after the murder of Rob Andrew

Oklahoma executed James Pavatt at 10:12 a.m. Pavatt was convicted of murdering Rob Andrew in Oklahoma City in 2001. The state Pardon and Parole Board denied his clemency request last month by a 3-2 vote. Members of the Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty held a vigil outside the prison before the execution.
