re: Nebraska Carries Out 1st Execution Using Fentanyl

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.

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.
