Deborah Denno comments to Reuters about how Ohio was the latest state in the U.S. to switch drugs for executions, after a U.S. company bowed to European Union pressure and stopped making a preferred drug.
“Ohio’s move is predictable but disturbing,” said Fordham University Law Professor Deborah W. Denno, a death penalty expert, referring to criticism of using the alternative drug. “It is regrettable that Ohio is blindly following in Oklahoma’s muddy footsteps.”
