ELYRIA, Ohio — Ohio’s method of putting prisoners to death is unconstitutional because two of three drugs it uses for lethal injection can cause “an agonizing and painful death,” a county judge ruled Tuesday.
Ohio must stop using its three-drug combination and use a single, anesthetic drug to execute its condemned prisoners because the current lethal injection process doesn’t provide the quick and painless death required by Ohio law, Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge said.
