美国俄克拉何马州在一次毒剂注射死刑的执行过程中出现失误。犯人的身体扭动了40多分钟,最后死于心脏病发作。

俄克拉何马州狱政局说,星期二对犯人洛克特执行死刑。这是该州首次使用由三种药物混合而成的针剂。注射13分钟后,这名强奸谋杀犯的呼吸开始变得粗重,并咬紧牙关。在场的医生决定停止执行死刑。

有关官员拉下窗帘,以免在外面观看死刑过程的人们看到行刑室里发生的情况。有关官员说,在注射毒剂时,犯人出现静脉衰竭。

另一名犯人原定在洛克特之后两小时接受死刑,俄克拉荷马州州长法林决定把对他的处决推迟14天。
 
A botched execution by lethal injection in Oklahoma left an inmate writhing on the gurney for more than 40 minutes before he eventually died from a heart attack.
 
Oklahoma's Department of Corrections says inmate Clayton Lockett was issued the first of the state's new three-drug lethal injection combination on Tuesday. Thirteen minutes later the convicted rapist and murderer began breathing heavily and clenching his teeth, causing the doctor on scene to halt the execution.
 
Officials lowered the blinds to prevent those in the viewing gallery from watching what was happening in the death chamber. Officials said there was a "vein failure" during the execution.
 
Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin has ordered a 14-day stay of execution for an inmate who was scheduled to die just two hours after Lockett.
