In an odd footnote to the death penalty issue comes this:
The DEA on Tuesday seized a key lethal injection drug used by the state of Georgia, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
DEA spokesman Chuvalo Truesdell said, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: “We had questions about how the drug was imported to the U.S.”
The seizure came two months after the state executed a man who had claimed the drug was bought from a “fly-by-night” supplier in England, the paper reported. His attorneys had tried to delay the execution.
The paper reported that no more execution dates have been scheduled until the issue is resolved.
