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?

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.

At the time, Death Penalty Information Center Executive Director Robert Dunham suggested that fentanyl was a strange choice for an execution drug.
"It's somewhat ironic that at the same time that the Justice Department and states are talking about how dangerous fentanyl is and how it's created a national public health emergency that states are now turning to it as a supposedly safe way of killing prisoners," Dunham said.
Duh.... Its talked about as "creating a public health emergency" because its powerful and killing people! Two solid reasons it should be considered for executions!
It's basically heroin, really too easy of a way for these death row monsters to go. IMO
