The Governor of Oklahoma has commuted Osvaldo Torres's death sentence to a sentence of life without praole. Althought Torres's execution had already been stayed by an appeals court, Governor Henry decided to commute his sentence entirely. The Governor had received pleas for Torres's life from several different angles, including pleas from the EU and Mexican President Vicente Fox. Torres was scheduled to be executed on May 18th. The commuting of his sentence leaves only Kelsey Patterson scheduled for execution on the 18th.
