Wash. high court lifts stay of execution for Brown

By (Breaking Legal News)

ADVERTISEMENTS

Washington state's Supreme Court has lifted the stay of execution for a death row inmate who claimed the state's method of lethal injection violated constitutional bans on cruel and unusual punishment.

The high court unanimously ruled Thursday that Cal Coburn Brown's claims are moot because the state Department of Corrections changed its method of execution earlier this year from a three-drug cocktail to a one-drug system.
