The fate of Death Row inmates in Oklahoma was in the hands of the US Supreme Court after a lower court temporarily halted executions in the plains state.
John Grant, 60, was scheduled to be put to death at 4:00 pm Central Time on Thursday at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester for the 1998 murder of a prison cafeteria worker.
Jones has consistently proclaimed his innocence and his case has attracted the attention of celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. A lawsuit challenging Oklahoma's lethal injection protocols is scheduled to go to trial in February 2022 and the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals put the executions of Grant and Jones on hold pending a ruling in the case.
