OKLAHOMA CITY—A federal appeals court rejected a request from two Oklahoma death row inmates to temporarily halt their upcoming lethal injections.
A three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver denied the inmates’ motion in a ruling on Monday. The decision paves the way for the state to carry out the executions of Donald Grant, 46, on Thursday and Gilbert Postelle, 35, on Feb. 17.
