Deborah Denno was quoted in a New York Times article about the state of Nebraska’s recent use of the powerful opioid fentanyl to execute a convicted murderer.
“Simply because people are dying as a result of fentanyl doesn’t mean they’re dying in a way that would be considered acceptable as a form of execution,” Deborah Denno, a law professor at Fordham University who has studied capital punishment, said in an interview before Mr. Moore’s death.
