1. Megan McCracken of the UC:

   We see yet again that Oklahoma simply can not get it right. Less than an hour before the execution the Oklahoma Department of Corrections realizes that it is not prepared to carry out Mr. Glossip's execution in compliance with its own protocol and the law.

2. Kevin Gough:

   Your Honor, I would submit with all respect to the Rev. Jesse Jackson that his is not different than bringing in police officers or uniformed prison guards in a small town where a young Black man has been accused of assaulting a law enforcement officer or corrections officer.

3. Carlos Samour:

   Was that a waste of time? he asked. When young Cierra Cowden had the courage to take the stand and talk about how she missed waking up to her dad's singing: was that a waste of time? When Sandy Phillips got up and told the jury about Jessica's enthusiasm for life: was that a waste of time? When Tom Sullivan, a man with a larger than life personality, got up and broke down on the stand talking about his close friendship with his son, was that a waste of time? Samour pointed out that with no appeals in sight, this trial has officially wrapped up in just over 3 years, saying that's record time for a death penalty case. Is prison really a much less severe sentence than death? he asked. Holmes will die in the custody of the department of corrections. Samour told the victims that there are no words to adequately describe what they've gone through. I've been doing criminal law for 2 decades and before this case I'd never seen a police officer or first responder break down on the witness stand.

4. Department Director Bryan Stirling:

   I think our staff has been working hard on safety and security, and we’ve been working hard on getting funding for rehabilitation and reentry programs. There are avenues, if people want to better themselves when they come to the Department of Corrections.

5. Abraham Bonowitz:

   It's hard for people to dismiss someone who has a career in corrections and who had a hands-on-job with executing people, it doesn't matter what your politics or faith is, that's a voice who gets to be heard.
