Second State halts executions by three drug injection
Thirty-seven states prefer lethal injection to other methods of execution, but another state halted their use. It seems that in Florida, the injection was botched so a second injection had to be given, according to the Associated Press (see this CNN article).
In Februrary, U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel gave California only two choices: either have an anesthesiologist present, or have a licensed medical professional use a large enough dose of one sedative drug to be fatal, rather than two other drugs -- a paralyzing agent and a drug that would stop the heart. But no medical professional has offered to participate.
