USA - Oklahoma. Oklahoma has revealed the drugs that will be used to execute prisoners, but not their source
Oklahoma has revealed the drugs that will be used to execute prisoners, but the state and Attorney General Scott Pruitt will continue to fight to protect the origin of those drugs. "Confidentiality matters to us so we can seek to protect those that are providing the drugs to us so they are not intimidated, threatened or otherwise so they choose not to provide not to supply the drugs," said Pruitt. After a recent shortage of drugs that has delayed the execution of 2 inmates, Oklahoma has recommended a new 3 drug method. An Oklahoma court ruled the inmates have a right to know the source of that method. Pruitt plans to prove confidence in the drugs through independent tests. "It provides all the information a defendant needs to know...if this is going to go the way it is supposed to go, then the source is irrelevant," said Pruitt.
