Nev. out of the execution business for now
By Sean Whaley, Las Vegas Review-Journal
CARSON CITY — Nevada is out of the execution business, at least for now.
One of the two drugs needed to administer an execution by lethal injection has expired and the drug manufacturer has refused to provide any further supplies, state officials were told Tuesday.
Dozens of killers are on death row, but should any of their final appeals fail, it would be impossible for the state to carry out their death sentences.
