Deborah Denno comments to the Associated Press on the execution of Ohio death row inmate Ronald Post.
If Post manages to stop his execution because of his weight, the legal precedent may not be far-reaching, because of the very small number of death row inmates who are that obese, said Deborah Denno, a Fordham University law professor and expert on lethal injection. And she said it is unlikely prisoners would begin stuffing themselves to try to fend off execution.
The entire Associated Press story ran on December 5, 2012.
