Deborah Denno was quoted in a Washington Post article about the state of Nebraska’s recent use of the powerful opioid fentanyl to execute a convicted murderer.
“Here we have a state that hasn’t executed in a very long time, it’s using a four-drug formula, it’s the first time the state is using lethal injection,” said Deborah W. Denno, a Fordham University law professor and a death-penalty expert. “I don’t think Nebraska wins points by going down this route in the long run.”
