US experimenting on prisoners because of lethal drug shortage - expert


Convicted Ohio killer Dennis McGuire became on Thursday the first prisoner put to death using a new lethal drug combo. US officials used intravenous doses of two drugs, the sedative midazolam and the painkiller hydromorphone, to put McGuire to death. Human rights activists accuse state authorities of testing poisons on people. Kara Gotsch, Director of National Programs at the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, discussed the controversial issue in a new interview.

What’s your take on the new method used for the execution of a Mr.McGuire? Do you think the use of this never-tried combination is justified?
