## Summary

Oklahoma executed James Pavatt, 73, by lethal injection for plotting with his lover to murder her estranged husband, Rob Andrew, in 2001. Pavatt made no final statement; the case drew renewed attention after he maintained his innocence at a clemency hearing last month.

Andrew, a 39-year-old advertising executive, was shot in his garage while collecting his two children. Prosecutors said Pavatt and Brenda Andrew planned the killing; both were convicted and sentenced to death in separate trials. The pair fled to Mexico with the children and were arrested three months later while re-entering the United States. Pavatt was pronounced dead at 10:12 a.m. local time.
