Defense attorneys said the use of ketamine, fentanyl and potassium chloride could cause ‘excruciating suffering’
Utah officials said on Saturday that they are scrapping plans to use an untested lethal drug combination in next month’s planned execution of a man in a 1998 murder case. They will instead seek out a drug that’s been used previously in executions in numerous states.
Defense attorneys for Taberon Dave Honie, 49, had sued in state court to stop the use of the drug combination, saying it could cause the defendant “excruciating suffering”.
The execution scheduled for 8 August would be Utah’s first since the 2010 execution of Ronnie Lee Gardner, by firing squad.
“a prosecutor for a vice”?
They mean Kamala Harris. They spend their days on Lemmy making sure Trump will win the election by doing everything they can to get people to not vote for Biden, or Harris if she takes over for him.
Ohhh. I probably should have figured that out, but I’m not great with people using weird phrasings.
