Oklahoma on Thursday executed a man convicted for brutally killing two hotel workers in 2001, the first execution in the nation this year. Donald Grant,46, was given a lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary at 10:16 a.m., according to a statement from John O’Connor, the attorney general of Oklahoma. O’Connor said the execution was carried out «with zero complications.» «Justice is now served for Brenda McElyea, Felecia Suzette Smith, and the people of Oklahoma,» he said in a statement, naming Grant’s victims. Oklahoma resumed executions in October following a review of its procedures to ensure lethal injections and death penalty practices were still humane.
