the sounds coming from lockette. i heard gasping. i heard oh, man. i heard him just trying to hang on for dear life. it was hard getting out the words that he was saying. it was very, very hard. because, again, there's a glass window that separates us from him. you know? >> and they typically keep families apart, families or supporters of lockette, perhaps his attorney. if this weren't any family members there. and then the family members of the victim, of the crime. were you able to assess re, ans from either of those camps? >> yes, i was able to talk to locket's lawyers. they were seated right in front of me. name is david autrey and dean. when i spoke to david, he said the state was determined to do this, that this was botched, he was horrify and he was going to consider a lawsuit. the other attorney with him also echoed the same sentiment. >> chelsea washington from cnn affiliate, thank ou for that. my experts have a lot of opinions of what went wrong here and maybe what went right because there are many who feel that's exactly what that mean obs

both lockett and warner were convicted of murder. they each won a stay of execution earlier this month after challenging the secrecy of their execution drugs. but the oklahoma supreme court reversed the decision last week after oklahoma governor mary fallin objected and state lawmakers threatened their removal from the bench. warner's execution has now been delayed for 14 days pending a review of execution procedures. >> clayton lockett's execution was second botched execution this year in the united states. in january, an ohio prisoner named dennis mcguire was executed using an untested two-drug method. he made snorting and gasping sounds before he died, prompting his family to file a civil rights lawsuit. and call for a death penalty moratorium. sincey was the first time 1937 that two men were said to be executed on the same day in oklahoma since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976, although it has happened in other states. the last double execution was in texas in 2000. for more we go to tulsa via democracy now! video stream

first of all, lockett's cause of death.he commissioner has informed me that the medical examiner's office will authorize an independent pathologist to make that determination. second it will be to see if the department of correction followed proper protocol and commissioner thompson will develop recommendations to improve propertocols for the department of correction. i expect the review process to be deliberate and thorough and it will be the first step in evaluating our state's execution protocols. my office will communicate with the attorney general's office on any possible additional steps that might need to be taken to allow for commissioner thompson's review process to be completed before any further executions. last night i also issued an executive order staying the execution of charles warner until may 13. i have not given commissioner thompson a deadline to complete the review. if he has not completed the review by may 13, an additional stay will be issued at that time. if there are adjustments that he needs to mak

lockett shot a teenage girl and then buried her alive. the question on many people's minds is, should they die like this? joining me now is stephanie mensimer. stephanie, we know lockett and warner were appealing their death sentences. what was the state's rush to get these executions done last night? >> well, the state has been actually trying to defend a larger statute that goes beyond these two men. they've been working very hard to hide the source of the drugs they're trying to use in these lethal executions. that's really what the legal issue was all about. and i think they were just hoping that no court was going to rule against them before they executed these guys. because they've -- they don't want anyone to know where they're getting the drugs. what's necessarily in them. and how they were manufactured. >> and why do you think that is? >> well, i think that there is -- over the last couple of years, there have been drug shortages for the drugs that are typically used in lethal injections and the death penalty. >> partly because,

lockett was doing. this was not supposed to happen. >> woodruff: roy englert, what injure sense of it? we know there's a debate in the state of oklahoma before this happened. the court's ruling one way, the governor pushing back and a lot had to do with the fact that it was a combination of drugs that hadn't been tried before. >> there will have to be an investigation into what went wrong. the preliminary report was that they had difficulty finding a vain or -- vein or a vein exploded. it a known danger with the first drug. that having been said mr. lockett lived 15 years after killing his victim and we're worrying about 40 minutes versus 4 minutes for the execution. he it needs to be kept in -- >> woodruff: are you definedding what happened here? >> of course not. the governor did the right thing but putting off the 8:00 p.m. execution and ordering an investigation. >> woodruff: dennis weimann, is there a way to ensure this -- deborah denno, is there a way to ensure this never happens? >> there shouldn

may have disrupted the flow of deadly chemicals into lockette, a doctor says.t of issues. let's take it to the table. this goes back to 2011 when death penalty activists got the only company that was the maker of the main chemical used in lethal injections to stop manufacturing that chemical. and that -- the amount they were making was a tiny thing for them. they didn't want the hassle, right? this is one case where activists were able to get business to say, let's get out of this for economic reasons and it works morally, too. that led to a huge problem for those who have to administer death penalties. so you know, we have a situation where oklahoma knew they did not have the proper drugs, they went ahead and we have a situation that's gruesome. if executions look as gruesome who as some who are against them think they are, abby, it's hard to continue to do them. >> jay carney spoke about the story just this afternoon. let's take a look. >> i haven't discussed this particular report with the president. what i can tell you is that he has long said that while th

and lockett was on death row for the shooting death of two -- of a teenager, and burying her alive. and the other inmate was to be executed for raping and killing a child. and now let's talk about the history of the state and the history of this cocktail that this new use of lethal injection drug drugs and a huge debate of what was happening, and this is supposed to have been the solution. >> yes, as you know, that this combination has never been tried in oklahoma before. we understand it that the state of florida uses something similar, but in a different d e dosage, and in oklahoma, they had to resort to this because the previous combinations that they had used with executions that i had witnessed previously and other colleagues that i work with, and some of those drugs involved started to become hard to obtain or unavailable, and the manufacturers either wholeheartedly block ed them frm being used because they objected to the death penalty or sometimes the import of compounding pharmacies involved that raised the questions about the safety and the purity of the dr drugs, and also

turns out lockett had called 911 while the woman was still at his apartment. the report claims the woman refused to leave. no one has been charged with a crime. >>> so who do the police call when they need help? tonight one idea is to call the local sheriff. the san jose police force is dwindling and crime is going up. now county supervisor dave cortese wants the city to bring in the santa clara county sheriff's department to help police patrol the streets and respond to emergencies. sjpd says yes, that would help their officers. >> they're dog tired. they are -- when you get to a point where you can't fill paid overtime positions, you know you've reached a crisis point. even if the sheriff's deputies come and start working overtime to help supplement our patrol in some capacity, it's only a short term solution. at some point they're going to get burnt out by all the extra hours as well. >> the details of the proposal are still being worked out such as how many deputies the sheriff's deputy can spare. the plan will be introduced tomorrow. >>> tonight we've lea

lockett, the second one didn't take place.uled but you can be sure there will be more court activity between now and then. >> all right. so let's do some point, counter point here and get to the heart of the matter. one perspective on this is, for all the sensitivity we're hearing, so what, so what that he seemed to be in pain. the goal was to kill him. isn't it just -- is it about killing kindly? is that how we're supposed to do it? >> and along those lines, it is worth pointing out that mr. lockett was convicted of an absolutely horrendous homicide where a 19-year-old woman was shot and then apparently buried alive. so i mean, this is a completely horrendous kroocrime. however, the law in the united states is, under the eighth amendment which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, you cantor chur someone when you're killing them. what's happened in recent years is that the european companies that supplied the lethal injection drugs have refused to participate in the death penalty anymore. so american states that have the de

lawyers for lockett had sued the state to reveal its drug supplier. they lost that battle.eath penalty protesters are likely to take it up again. >> the legal battle has been over the drugs themselves. and whether or not that they could be used in such an execution and would cause a quick death that would be compatible with -- that would not be a form of cruel and unusual punishment. for his death to occur under these circumstances is certainly interesting to say the least. >> reporter: clayton lockett's slow death has put the execution of charles warner on hold for two weeks, at least. and it's reignited the debate about whether any execution can be carried out humanely. richard lister, bbc news. >>> the seventh phase of india's general election is taking place with nearly 140 million people eligible to vote in seven states. the governing congress party faces a strong challenge from the opposition hindu nationalist bjp whose leader narendra modi is current favorite to become india's next prime minister. on wednesday he voted in his home state. votes will be counted on the
