>>After going more than three years without killing any death row inmates, Ohio is set to resume executions after a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday (in June) that the state can continue using midazolam, the controversial lethal injection drug present in several recent botched U.S. executions.
“We will grant that the plaintiffs have shown some risk that Ohio’s execution protocol may cause some degree of pain, at least in some people,” Judge Raymond Kethledge wrote in the majority opinion for the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. “But some risk of pain is inherent in any method of execution — no matter how humane. And the Constitution does not guarantee ‘a pain-free execution.’”
