According to witnesses, Stouffer could be seen laughing and laughing with his spiritual guide before saying his final words.
He added: “My request is that my Father accept their forgiveness. Thank for your forgiveness.”
Stouffer was the only victim of Oklahoma in the years since John Grant convulsed on the gurney, vomiting during his lethal injection on October, when the state lifted an execution moratorium of six years due to concerns over its procedures.
The pensioner was able to maintain his innocence during the attack in 1985 that left school teacher Linda Reaves dead and her boyfriend, Doug Ivens, seriously injured.
At a parole board meeting in the month of March, he stated that Ivens was killed when the pair fought with a weapon at Ivens house, and Reaves was killed. Reaves was dead when he showed up.
