Oklahoma executed a death row inmate for the torture killing of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son in 1993, the third of four scheduled executions in the United States over a two-day stretch.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma executed a death row inmate Thursday for the torture killing of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son in 1993, the third of four scheduled executions in the United States over a two-day stretch.
For Brandi Anthony and Michael Hurst, Adam’s aunt and uncle, the execution was the culmination of nearly 30 years spent hoping Fairchild would face consequences for his actions.Melissa Lucio's case deepens questions about capital punishment. Later, Fairchild threw the 24-pound child into a dining table, knocking him into an unconscious state from which he never awoke. The boy was determined to have died from blunt force trauma to the head but suffered 26 individual blows to the body.Julie Pittman, who is Attorney General John O’Connor’s general counsel, told the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board in October, "Fairchild was Adam's jury, judge and executioner.
"Justice is now served for Adam and the people of Oklahoma," O'Connor said. "This does not bring Adam back to his family and nothing can fill the void left by the loss of a loved one. Our hearts and prayers are with Adam’s family.”The death penalty in the U.S. has seen waning support in recent years across all political parties.
Paul S. Coakley, the archbishop of Oklahoma City, voiced his opposition following Fairchild's execution.
