Drug used in failed execution under renewed scrutiny
Original: Drug used in failed execution has come under past scrutiny
A drug used in a recent failed execution in the United States is drawing attention again, as the substance had already faced criticism in earlier lethal injection cases. Reporters note a pattern of past scrutiny over its use, with questions raised about whether it reliably works as intended and whether prisons adequately vet the drugs they obtain for executions.
Why now: A botched execution has renewed debate over lethal injection drugs and the methods US states use to carry out the death penalty.
