I have notes located here on things that still need to be done.

This is a list of individuals executed by the U.S. state of Oklahoma before and after statehood. Before statehood individuals were executed in ether Indian or Oklahoma Territory's by hanging or firing squad. Following statehood in 1907 to 1966 individuals were executed by electrocution. Since reestablishing the death penalty in 1977 Lethal injection has been used as the primary method of execution. The first execution under the new law took place on September 10, 1990 when the state executed Charles Troy Coleman. Since 1908 the State of Oklahoma has executed a total of 190 individuals, 187 men and 3 women.
