Death Row Inmate Blasts Oregon Governor Over Execution Halt

A two-time murderer who was scheduled to die by lethal injection next month blasted Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber for not allowing executions for the remainder of his term.
“I feel he’s a paper cowboy,” convicted murderer Gary Haugen, 49, told the Statesman Journal in a phone interview. “He couldn’t pull the trigger.”
Haugen said he was looking forward to his execution, scheduled for Dec. 6, because he wanted to protest a criminal justice system he viewed as broken.
