An Oklahoma death row inmate has been executed. Wendell Grissom was put to death today after the pardon and parole board voted to deny him clemency. Grissom had been on death row for nearly 17 years for the shooting death of 23-year-old Amber Matthews. Matthews' friend, Drew Kopf, was injured in the incident, which took place at Kopf's home near Watonga in 2005.
