Oklahoma has carried out the execution of John Fitzgerald Hanson, a death row inmate convicted for the 1999 murder of a 77-year-old woman in Tulsa. The execution occurred after a series of legal challenges were denied, including a final appeal from the U.S. Supreme Court. Hanson, whose transfer from federal custody was expedited by officials during the Trump administration, had previously been granted a temporary stay under the Biden administration. Families of the victim reacted to the execution, marking it as a significant moment in a long legal battle. This event represents one of three executions carried out in the U.S. this week.
