Oklahoma set to execute man for role in quadruple slaying

Oklahoma is preparing to execute a man for his role in a quadruple slaying in Oklahoma City in 2005. Thirty-five-year-old Gilbert Ray Postelle is scheduled to receive a lethal injection Thursday morning at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. It will be Oklahoma's fourth execution since October, when the state resumed lethal injections following a nearly seven-year hiatus. During a clemency hearing last year, Postelle did not deny his involvement in the Memorial Day 2005 shooting deaths of James Alderson, Terry Smith, Donnie Swindle and Amy Wright. But Postelle's attorney argued that his client was learning disabled and suffered from years of methamphetamine abuse that began around age 12.

Oklahoma executed a man Thursday for his role in a quadruple slaying in 2005. Gilbert Ray Postelle, 35, received a lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, and prison officials declared him dead at 10:14 a.m. It was Oklahoma’s fourth execution since October, when the state resumed lethal injections following a nearly seven-year hiatus. Postelle, who was lying on a gurney with his arms outstretched beside him, declined to give any last words and glanced a few times at the seven witnesses who were in the viewing room next to the execution chamber as the execution began.
