TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The state of Arizona says it has a three-drug combination available to use in executions once they resume. In a federal court notice filed Tuesday, the state says it has midazolam, vecuronium bromide and potassium chloride on-hand and that it plans on using that combination when executions resume. It’s also seeking to obtain sodium thiopental, a drug that’s banned in the U.S. The FDA has seized a $27,000 shipment of the drug in July, which the state is appealing. The notice was filed after a federal judge last week said he wouldn’t resume a civil rights lawsuit against the state until it revealed which execution drugs it had in its possession. Arizona attorneys have requested that the lawsuit, filed in June 2014 on behalf of several death row inmates, be resumed after it was put on hold last year through an agreement by both parties. The state can’t perform executions until the suit is resolved. Read More. |
