The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters

    Oklahoma death row inmate loses appeal, eligible for execution date

    By Chris Casteel
    The Oklahoman

    An Oklahoma death row inmate convicted of beating a Choctaw man to death with a hammer became eligible for an execution date on Monday when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review his case.

    James Allen Coddington, 49, joined 30 other Oklahoma death row inmates who have exhausted their appeals and can be scheduled for execution when the state resumes lethal injections.

    The state has not executed an inmate since 2015. A lawsuit over Oklahoma's execution procedures is pending in federal court in Oklahoma City.

    Coddington was sentenced to death for the 1997 killing of 73-year-old Albert Hale, a co-worker at a salvage yard in Choctaw. Coddington had gone to Hale's home to borrow $50 for drugs, but Hale refused, and Coddington beat him with a hammer.

    In the latest appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, Coddington’s attorneys argued that material favorable to Coddington’s defense, namely an addiction expert’s opinion on Coddington’s frame of mind while on a cocaine binge, was barred from admission in the trial, costing Coddington the opportunity to face a less serious murder charge.

    The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals agreed the trial judge erred in barring the testimony — and violated Coddington’s constitutional rights to mount a defense — but ruled the exclusion harmless to the outcome.

    Coddington’s attorneys said the U.S. Supreme Court should take the case to determine whether the “suppression of material evidence helpful to the defense” could ever be a harmless error.

    The high court declined without comment to review the case.

    Execution dates set for Julius Jones, 6 other Oklahoma death row inmates

    By The Oklahoman

    High-profile death row inmate Julius Jones has been scheduled for execution Nov. 18.

    The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals on Monday set execution dates for Jones and six other inmates convicted of murder.

    The court set the date for Jones even though the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board has recommended Gov. Kevin Stitt commute his death sentence.

    The board voted 3-1 Sept. 13 to recommend his sentence be commuted to life in prison. If the governor agrees, Jones would be immediately eligible for parole.

    Stitt could choose to commute the sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He also could deny commutation.

    Oklahoma's new attorney general, John O'Connor, asked the court to schedule the execution dates.

    O'Connor made the request in August after a federal judge ruled six of the inmates could no longer participate in a legal challenge to the state's execution procedures.

    “The seven inmates to be scheduled for execution were convicted of heinous crimes,” O’Connor said in August. “They either didn't challenge the protocol or offer an alternative method of execution."

    The ongoing lawsuit focuses mainly on the use of a sedative, midazolam, in lethal injections.

    Jones, 41, is facing execution for the 1999 fatal shooting of an Edmond insurance executive during a carjacking. Jurors chose the death penalty as punishment at a 2002 trial.

    The victim, Paul Howell, was gunned down in his parents' driveway in Edmond after a back-to-school shopping trip with his daughters. Stolen was his 1997 Suburban.

    Jones claims that he is innocent, that the real killer framed him and that his trial was unfair.

    "I am not the only young Black male whose public defenders were overmatched, whose juries were biased, who were chewed up and spit out by a system that packs our prisons with people who look just like me," he wrote in a letter sent to the board.

    Millions signed a petition in his support after ABC in 2018 aired the documentary series, "The Last Defense," about his innocence claim.

    Oklahoma has not carried out an execution since 2015.

    Scheduled for execution first is John Marion Grant, 60, an armed robber who was sentenced to death for fatally stabbing a prison kitchen worker in 1998.

    His execution was set for Oct. 28.

    Next is Jones.

    Third is Bigler Jobe Stouffer, 78, who was sentenced to death for the 1985 fatal shooting of a Putnam City elemetary school teacher. His execution was set for Dec. 9.

    Stouffer did not join dozens of other death row inmates in the legal challenge to the execution protocol. His attorney, though, told the Court of Criminal Appeals he will file his own challenge.

    Fourth is Wade Greely Lay, 60, who was sentenced to death for killing a security guard during a botched bank robbery in 2004. His execution was set for Jan. 6.

    Fifth is Donald A. Grant, 45, who was sentenced to death for killing two workers at the LaQuinta Inn in Del City during a 2001 robbery. His execution was set for Jan. 27.

    Sixth is Gilbert Ray Postelle, 35, who was convicted of murdering four people on Memorial Day 2005 outside a trailer in Del City. He was sentenced to death for two of the murders and to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the other two.

    His execution was set for Feb. 17.

    Seventh is James Allen Coddington, 49, who was sentenced to death for killing a Choctaw man in 1997 during a cocaine binge. His execution was set for March 10.

    O'Connor initally had asked for earlier dates. He revised his request when the appeals court did not act. He told the court he was doing so so that inmates will get a required notice and to allow the parole board time to conduct clemency hearings.

    In the order, the judges on the Court of Criminal Appeals found that the setting of execution dates is now appropriate and required by law.

    They acknowledged in a footnote that they are aware of Jones' commutation request. They wrote "this Court's duty to set a date certain is dictated" by law because there is currently no stay in effect.
