Professor Deborah Denno was quoted in an Associated Press article about the execution of Arkansas inmate Kenneth Williams.
Deborah Denno of Fordham University says the accelerated schedule adopted by Arkansas to put to death eight inmates in 11 days increased the risk of problems. She says state officials typically describe execution irregularities as minor or normal but that it was hard to accept Arkansas’ account.
Denno says Williams’ execution along with a lawsuit brought by one of the drug suppliers will result in drug companies taking more steps to prevent their products from being sold to the state.
