Ohio Fails to Find Doctors to Provide Execution Advice

The state of Ohio is having a difficult time finding medical professionals who will provide advice on how to put condemned inmates to death. Richard Cordray, Attorney General, said in a court filing that professional and ethical considerations have stopped doctors from giving advice on lethal injection procedure.

The executions pending in Ohio have been put on hold while the state develops new injection procedures. The research is due to the failed execution of an Ohio inmate on September 15th 2009. The execution was halted after two hours because technicians could not find a usable vein.
