Oklahoma this week plans to conduct its first execution since a faulty lethal injection last April led to U.N. criticism and prompted President Barack Obama to seek a re-examination of how capital punishment is implemented in the United States.
The state is set to execute child rapist and murderer Charles Warner on Thursday after spending months revising its protocol for the death chamber to prevent the shortcomings with its last execution.
Lawyers for death row inmates said even with the new protocols, the state's execution process remained deeply flawed. They are seeking a court-ordered halt on grounds the Oklahoma process could violate constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment.
"We will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent the scheduled executions from going forward due to the substantial risk of harm," said Dale Baich, one of the attorneys representing Oklahoma death row inmates.

It seems a large caliber, high velocity round center chest would end things quick and be very painless.
I suppose it was ruled cruel and unusual punishment.
The dude assumed room temp, right?
Room temp happens Thursday unless some bleeding heart judge intervenes.
The only way an execution of someone who raped and murdered a child could be “troubled” is if he lived through it.
They ought to review the Texas processes.
They doesn’t seem to have trouble.
“We will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent the scheduled executions from going forward due to the substantial risk of harm,” said Dale Baich, “

Faulty? That now worthless piece maggot poop is dead isn’t he!
And he violated this child’s rights in what way exactly???
We can’t have cruel and unusual punnishment, but nowhere does the constitution guarantee a painless execution.
Not sure of your question, but the bastard raped and murdered an 11 month old.
Actually, I’d think that a properly done hanging, or the old trusty guillotine would be painless as well. I’ve thought public guillotine would be a deterrent as well. Give the little gang-banger wannabe’s something to think about.
Good for Oklahoma. Ignore garbage like the UN and Obama and get it done!
How was the last execution “faulty?” The scumbag died, didn’t he?
UN criticism?
All I need to know, if they use a dirty needle and Drano to put this animal down I'm good with it.
Right - the lawyers are all going on about his rights but what of the rights of the baby he murdered?
Humanitarian ways to end the life of a subhuman
The good news is Warner has something extra to worry about. Not only is he going to die but it just might be agonizing.
Couldn’t Oklahoma make it a two-fer, and execute the guy who cut that lady’s head off at the food plant?
