Oklahoma is one of the busiest death penalty states in the nation, but some Republican lawmakers are considering trying to impose a temporary pause on executions. A GOP-led panel on Thursday explored the idea of a moratorium until some reforms can be put in place. State Rep. Kevin McDugle is a supporter of the death penalty and requested a study on a possible moratorium. He has voiced concerns about the possibility of an innocent person being put to death. McDugle has been a supporter of death row inmate Richard Glossip, who has long maintained his innocence and whose case is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.
