After One Botched Execution, Oklahoma Stays A Second

Execution botched before inmate dies of heart attack; second execution postponed

The execution of Clayton Lockett was botched tonight at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary before he died of a massive heart attack. The event prompted officials to postpone a second execution scheduled for two hours later. 

Lockett was given execution drugs and reacted violently, kicking and grimacing while lifting his head off the gurney to which he was strapped. He was pronounced dead at 7:06 p.m. -- 43 minutes after the process began -- Department of Corrections Director Robert Patton said.

Rubin "Hurricane" Carter Presente !!!













Hatred and bitterness and anger only consume the vessel 
that contains them. It doesn’t hurt another soul.

- Rubin “Hurricane” Carter - 

May 6, 1937 - April 20, 2014

Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter's life story is a warning to us about racism and revenge 
In 1976, I was a junior lawyer on Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter's retrial defence team. His story has a significance that should outlive his death.

My Mother

I long for my mother's bread
My mother's coffee
Her touch
Childhood memories grow up in me
Day after day
I must be worth my life
At the hour of my death
Worth the tears of my mother.
And if I come back one day
Take me as a veil to your eyelashes
Cover my bones with the grass
Blessed by your footsteps
Bind us together
With a lock of your hair
With a thread that trails from the back of your dress
I might become immortal
Become a God
If I touch the depths of your heart.
If I come back
Use me as wood to feed your fire
As the clothesline on the roof of your house
Without your blessing
I am too weak to stand. 

I am old
Give me back the star maps of childhood
So that I
Along with the swallows
Can chart the path
Back to your waiting nest.

- Mahmoud Darwish -

March 13, 1941 - August 9, 2008
