Oklahoma executes man for 1993 killing of 3-year-old boy
Fairchild, who turned 63 on Thursday, began receiving the first of a lethal three-drug combination at 10:10 a.m. at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. He was declared dead at 10:24 a.m.
Strapped to a gurney inside the death chamber, Fairchild thanked his attorneys and prison staff and apologized to Adam's family.“I'm at peace with God. Don't grieve for me because I'm going home to meet my heavenly father."“Our long journey for justice has finally arrived," Hurst said, adding that he was surprised to hear Fairchild express remorse for killing his nephew. “He hadn't said that in 30 years.
“As Richard Fairchild’s brain has deteriorated, he has descended into psychosis, a fact well-documented in his prison records,” Emma Rolls, one of Fairchild’s attorneys, said in a statement to the Pardon and Parole Board. “Yet despite having lost touch with reality, Richard remains remorseful for his crime and continues to have an unblemished prison record. There is no principled reason for Oklahoma to execute him.
