Oct. 5 (UPI) -- The Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board on Tuesday
voted against granting clemency to a death row prisoner who is
scheduled to be the first executed by the state in six years.
The board voted 3-2 to deny clemency to John Grant, 60, who is
scheduled to be executed Oct. 28. The vote means his clemency
request will not be sent to Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt for
consideration.
Grant was was sentenced to death for the 1998 murder of prison
worker Gay Carter, whom Grant killed while he was serving a
prison sentence for four armed robberies.

State prepares for first execution in nearly seven years on
Thursday--
Wednesday, October 27th, 2021
OKLAHOMA CITY — Pam Carter wrote in 2000 that she still looked
at the answering machine every day expecting a message from her
mother.
“Mom never failed to leave a daily message on my answering
machine,” she wrote in a letter given to the Oklahoma Pardon and
Parole Board. “It was usually just an ‘I love you.’”
Her mother, Gay Carter, worked at the Dick Connor Correctional
Center in Hominy in 1998 when inmate John Marion Grant pulled
her into a mop closet and stabbed her 16 times. Five stab wounds
struck vital organs. She died of internal bleeding.
Grant on Thursday could become the first inmate executed in
Oklahoma in nearly seven years since the state halted executions
due to problems with the lethal-injection procedure.
According to DOC protocol, he will be offered a mild sedative no
later than four hours before the execution.
If no stay is issued by a court, he will be given an opportunity
to say his last words about 4 p.m. Thursday.
He then will be administered a lethal dose of chemicals designed
to kill him at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester.
For his last meal, served between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on the day
before the execution, Grant has requested two bacon
cheeseburgers with onion, tomato, pickles, lettuce and mustard;
half a gallon of Neapolitan ice cream; a large bag of barbeque
chips; a large package of Nutter Butter sandwich cookies; and a
2-liter bottle of Mr. Pibb, according to the Oklahoma Department
of Corrections. The last meal must cost $25 or less.
On Oct. 5, the Pardon and Parole Board chose not to recommend
that Gov. Kevin Stitt grant clemency to Grant. It was his second
clemency denial.
Grant has a lengthy criminal history, dating back to when he was
11 years old. He spent time in the juvenile system before going
to the adult corrections system.

Death row killer shouts ‘let’s go’ before vomiting during
execution--
October 28th, 2021
Death row killer John Grant, 60, was executed by lethal
injection in the U.S. state of Oklahoma for the murder of prison
kitchen worker Gay Carter, who was stabbed 16 times.
Grant was given the lethal injection at 4:21pm local time on
Thursday at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.
It came after the U.S. Supreme Court overruled a decision to
grant a stay of execution for Grant.
The order came less than two hours before Grant was scheduled to
be executed.
