"Death row inmates file contempt motions," is the AP report, via the Lawton Constitution.
Lawyers for Oklahoma death row inmates who filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block their executions have filed motions to hold the state's public safety commissioner and medical examiner in contempt of court for not turning over documents they have subpoenaed.
The motions were filed Wednesday against Commissioner of Public Safety Michael Thompson and Dr. Eric Pfeifer, chief medical examiner. They state documents the death row inmates' lawyers requested almost five months ago have still not been turned over.
