俄克拉荷马退伍军人死囚 Pavatt 定明日执行 退伍军人团体游行呼吁州长干预
俄克拉荷马城 — 72 岁的死囚 James Pavatt 定于 11 月 12 日上午 10 时，在位于 McAlester 的俄克拉荷马州立监狱执行注射死刑。11 月 11 日退伍军人日当天，退伍军人团体与反对死刑者在 Midwest City 的退伍军人日游行中抗议，呼吁州长 Kevin Stitt 在执行前出面干预。
Pavatt 曾在美国空军服役近 22 年。抗议者表示，他们希望州长在决定是否暂缓执行时，考虑 Pavatt 的退伍军人身份与军旅服役经历。此前，州赦免与假释委员会已于 10 月 15 日以 3 比 2 否决向州长建议为 Pavatt 减刑，11 月 12 日的执行日期不变。
截至 11 月 11 日晚，州长 Stitt 尚未就此事公开表态。俄克拉荷马州的死刑由州惩教局执行；按该州程序，减刑须经州赦免与假释委员会建议，并由州长批准。

Oklahoma Veteran James Pavatt Faces Execution Thursday as Veterans Urge Governor Stitt to Intervene
OKLAHOMA CITY — James Pavatt, 72, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at 10 a.m. on November 12 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. On Veterans Day, November 11, veterans groups and death penalty opponents protested during the Veterans Day parade in Midwest City, urging Governor Kevin Stitt to intervene before the execution.
Pavatt served in the U.S. Air Force for nearly 22 years. Protesters said they want the Governor to weigh Pavatt's status as a veteran and his record of military service in deciding whether to halt the execution. The state Pardon and Parole Board voted 3-2 on October 15 against recommending clemency, leaving the November 12 execution date in place.
As of the evening of November 11, Governor Stitt had not commented publicly on the case. Executions in Oklahoma are carried out by the Department of Corrections; under state procedure, a commutation requires a recommendation from the Pardon and Parole Board and approval by the Governor.
