Pavatt’s Execution and the Unfinished Case | Oklahoma City News

James Dwight Pavatt, 72, is set for execution on November 12 in Oklahoma for the 2001 murder of his lover’s husband, Rob Andrew — a crime he insists he didn’t commit. His girlfriend, Brenda Andrew, also on death row, is the only woman there and has repeatedly claimed her trial was unfairly biased, especially over prosecutors’ personal attacks and sex-shaming. The pair fled to Mexico with her kids after the shooting, which occurred while Rob was picking up his children for Thanksgiving. Both have maintained innocence, with Pavatt’s legal team highlighting his decorated Air Force service and church leadership, while pointing to alleged prosecutorial misconduct and questionable confessions. Brenda’s case has even reached the Supreme Court, delaying her potential execution until late 2028 or 2029 if her appeals fail. Pavatt’s execution would be Oklahoma’s fourth scheduled lethal injection this year — unless something changes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
