LINCOLN — Nebraska prison officials have declined to publicly identify the supplier of a new batch of lethal injection drugs they purchased to carry out the state’s first execution in 20 years. Scott Frakes, director of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, recently denied a Nov. 10 public records request from The World-Herald seeking communications between his staff and the source who sold four execution drugs to the state. Such documents “constitute attorney work product, are subject to attorney-client privilege, are not public records and/or are confidential and exempt from disclosure,” said a letter late last week from Dawn-Renee Smith, communications director for the Corrections Department. The department has turned over similar documents in past years. Smith provided no explanation as to why the department now considers such records exempt from the Nebraska Public Records Act. Corrections officials did release some inventory records and have previously said the drugs cost $10,500 and were obtained from a domestic supplier. In 2015, corrections officials spent $54,400 on lethal injection drugs that they never received from a broker in India, who in turn refused to refund the public funds. Read More. |
