Georgia’s videotaped execution sets new precedent

0

Deborah Denno talks to the Associated Press about the possibilities of recordings of lethal injections leading to a flurry of new legal moves seeking more public access to secretive death chambers.

Fordham Law School professor Deborah Denno said she expects other attorneys in Georgia and elsewhere to start demanding that executions be recorded on video now that Georgia has done so.

“This development would help immensely in detecting the many problems with the lethal injection process, especially if the videotaping included all of the procedure from start to finish,” she said.

The story appeared in the Associated Press on July 22, 2011.
