: Legal Pad | LANew changes proposed in execution guidelines
By Richard Binder
Corrections officials announced new lethal injection procedures last Thursday. The changes are intended to address concerns expressed by a federal judge in 2006 that the state's earlier three-drug sequence may have exposed some of those who were executed to unconstitutionally "cruel and unusual punishment."
U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel of San Jose had heard testimony that some of those executed may not have been fully anesthetized by the first injection before receiving the second paralyzing shot and then the last painful dose that stops the heart.
The proposed changes are mostly minor and could be approved by mid-June. Reviews of these changes are likely to last through the end of the year, so executions are unlikely to resume.
