Oklahoma executes a man who was transferred from federal custody by Trump officials
- Oklahoma executed John Fitzgerald Hanson by lethal injection Thursday at the state penitentiary in McAlester at 10:11 a.m.
- Hanson was transferred from federal custody to Oklahoma in March under the Trump administration to face the death penalty for a 1999 double murder conviction.
- Hanson was convicted of kidnapping and killing 77-year-old Mary Bowles and shooting witness Jerald Thurman, while his attorneys acknowledged his involvement but denied he was the shooter.
- The Pardon and Parole Board denied clemency by a 3-2 vote in May, and Hanson expressed remorse and said, "Peace to everyone" before his execution.
- Hanson was the 22nd person executed in the U.S. this year and the fourth within the past week, representing the 17th execution carried out in Oklahoma since 2021, which has led to renewed demands for reforms in the capital punishment system.
