U.S. Supreme Court delays execution over 'drug cocktail' questions Empty U.S. Supreme Court delays execution over 'drug cocktail' questions

BONNE TERRE, Mo. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday halted the execution of a Missouri inmate with a rare medical condition who challenged the state's refusal to disclose the source of its lethal injection drug.

The justices said a lower federal court needs to take another look at the case of Russell Bucklew. He had been scheduled to be put to death at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday for the 1996 killing of a man during a violent crime spree, but Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito had blocked the execution late Tuesday while the full court considered the matter.

By law, Missouri has a 24-hour window to carry out a scheduled execution, and it wasn't immediately clear if the ruling meant the execution was canceled. The Associated Press could not immediately reach attorneys for Bucklew and the state.

I don't see where any state has the right to inject anyone with an unknown substance, no matter what they did ...

Just look at the guy.  He's one of those crazy RW anti-government, gun-loving types, the Supreme Court favours.

Of course they are going to save him.  His kind are the darlings of Alito and his RW cronies.
