A death row inmate in Oklahoma is being granted a stay of execution. A federal judge ordered the stay for James Coddington, who was scheduled to be executed on March Tenth for beating a 73-year-old man to death with a hammer. The U.S. District Court of the Western District of Oklahoma ruled Coddington's execution will be delayed until a final judgment is made in the upcoming trial against the drug cocktail used in the state's protocols. The trial is set to begin next February.
