Deborah Denno was quoted in a Christian Science Monitor piece about lethal injection practices. Her comment is related to Ohio’s supreme court ruling last month that the prison system could execute a death-row inmate after a botched first attempt.
“I find that unacceptable,” Deborah Denno, the Arthur A. McGivney Professor of Law at Fordham University in New York, told The Christian Science Monitor in March. “First of all there’s no precedent that because the drugs didn’t make it into his system that that would be the basis for deciding that this wasn’t an attempted execution.”
