a 2005 study indicating condemned inmates may suffer pain when being put to death by lethal injection is inconclusive and no reason to delay the scheduled execution of Clarence Edward Hill, the Florida Supreme Court ruled.
The 6-1 opinion rejected a request for an evidentiary hearing on the study sought by Hill, who is set to die Jan. 24.
The study was conducted by Dr. David A. Lubarsky, chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative Medicine and Pain Management at the University of Miami School of Medicine. It was based on autopsy data from Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina and protocols from Texas and Virginia, which all use the same lethal injection procedure as Florida.
