14:49Now PlayingOklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has ordered a review of the state's execution procedures following the botched lethal injection that induced a prisoner's fatal heart attack. The prisoner, Clayton Lockett, had initially won a stay for challenging the secrecy surrounding the untested execution drugs. But Fallin overruled Oklahoma's Supreme Court last week and ordered the execution to proceed. Fallin's review is being conducted by a member of her cabinet, so its independence is in doubt. Oklahoma officials say Lockett suffered a vein failure, but critics say that claim could mark an effort to hide a problem with the untested chemicals. We are joined by Madeline Cohen, a federal public defender who represents Oklahoma death row prisoner Charles Warner, who was set to be killed right after Lockett, but whose execution has now been delayed for 14 days.
