LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas — Arkansas was ordered Monday to release information about its supplier of lethal injection drugs to attorneys for death row inmates who are challenging the state's execution secrecy law. Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge Wendell Griffen said the state must identify the manufacturers, distributor, seller or supplier of Arkansas' three lethal injections drugs by Oct. 21. That would include turning over package inserts, shipping labels, laboratory test results and other information to the court and the inmates' attorneys. Or, the state can submit a request for a protective order for the drug manufacturer and supplier information, Griffen said. It will be up to the state attorney general to decide what's included in that request. The office could ask Griffen to uphold the state's secrecy law as it's written, which requires information about the source of the drugs to be kept under wraps. It could also ask that if the source is shared with the inmates' attorneys, they be barred from releasing it to anyone else. Read More. |
