Nebraska Carries Out 1st Execution Using Fentanyl

Nebraska has executed its first prisoner since 1997, after a federal three-judge panel denied a drug company's request to halt the lethal injection over concerns about whether the drugs were obtained improperly by the state.
Tuesday morning's execution of Carey Dean Moore is also the first time the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl had been used in a lethal injection in the U.S.
quote:
The first drug was administered at 10:24 a.m. local time, and Moore was pronounced dead at 10:47 a.m., according to the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services.
"Witnesses said that there appeared to be no complications in the execution process," The Associated Press reported.
quote:
The primary legal challenge to Moore's execution came from German pharmaceutical company Fresenius Kabi, which makes potassium chloride and cisatracurium besylate, two of the four drugs in the protocol.
quote:
In court documents, the company said it does not take a position on capital punishment but worries that the use of what it believes to be its products in executions could do damage to its "reputation, goodwill, and business relationships."
It's worth noting that the state has not disclosed its supplier. Fresenius Kabi said it has "grounds to believe" that these are its drugs. The company said that its products may be sold only by authorized dealers and that they have "contractually agreed to particular constraints, such as excluding sale to federal or state incarceration facilities."
In a court filing, the state's lawyers point out that Fresenius Kabi's lawsuit is the only reason it is publicly linked to the drugs.

That's the best part. The criminals bring it in themselves.

Aside from treating terminal cancer patients, I knew we could find one more way to put fentanyl to good use.

In 2015, state lawmakers voted to abolish the death penalty. Gov. Pete Ricketts then "helped finance a ballot drive to reinstate capital punishment after lawmakers overrode his veto," as The Associated Press reported.
Ricketts "contributed $300,000 of his own money to a petition drive organized by several close associates to place the issue on the November 2016 general election ballot," AP said, and voters approved the measure.
That's impressive.

I don't understand how hard it is to kill people.
Is that shite really more humane/less painful than a bullet to the head?

Opiate overdose is probably one of the easiest ways to go besides carbon monoxide poisoning.
You just go to sleep and never wake up.

Future headline - State seizes enough Fentanyl to execute every Death Row prisoner in US and then some.

I don’t know why we don’t just use the guillotine

All this to say: We the makers don't sell to intermediaries who sell to prisons. We require the 3rd party sell to another 4th party who then sells it prisons.
So each prison or state creates these 4th parties and sets up political cronies to make a killing in the process of killing.

There's no such thing as a botched execution if the criminal ends up dead.

Doesn't matter to me how they do it, it just should not take 20 years to carry it out.

This happened back in August. Hell, I think we even had a topic about it when it happened.

Why do we give a shite about pain for the inmate on death row?

Most of this stuff is to avoid offending the sensibilities of the observers. The electric chair was meant to replace hanging, which could go gruesomely wrong if not done correctly. But the electric chair had its own problems. Thus, lethal injection. What could go wrong with that? A lot of things, apparently.

For this particular death row inmate I have no concern. For any that might be innocent, I have a great deal of concern. It's bad enough that their lives are being unfairly taken away. I see no reason to torture them as we do it.
Unfortunately we have no foolproof way of separating innocence from guilt 100% of the time. As a result we have no choice but to trust the legal system to get it right. And as with any Government venture mistakes will happen. That is why even prisoners who are accused of the most heinous crimes still have rights. To protect those who get who get screwed by the system as best as is possible (supposedly anyway)
