Drug company’s lawsuit could derail Nev. execution
By Associated Press
A Nevada inmate slated to die by a three-drug lethal injection combination never before used in the U.S. has said repeatedly he wants his sentence carried out and he doesn’t care if it’s painful.
But a last-minute lawsuit filed by a drug company that doesn’t want its product used in “botched” executions could derail Scott Raymond Dozier’s scheduled Wednesday execution.
New Jersey-based Alvogen filed court documents Tuesday saying Nevada prison officials illegally obtained the sedative midazolam and demanding it be returned and not used in Dozier’s execution.
