Deborah Denno comments to National Public Radio on the moratorium on executions in Georgia after the Drug Enforcement Administration seized the state’s supply of sodium thiopental, one of three drugs, due to questions about whether the drug was illegally imported from Britain.
“You know, we’ve already seen the shortage has delayed executions in a number of states — Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, and Tennessee — and all those states have had to go to England for their supply of the drug,” says Fordham Law School professor Deborah Denno. “So it bears investigating whether those states have been engaging in the same kind of activity as Georgia has been.”
