Mississippi switches to new drug for executions
Mississippi will switch to a different sedative drug for three executions the state is seeking to carry out in the next month, state Attorney General Jim Hood told Reuters on Tuesday.
The state will join several others that have substituted pentobarbital — a sedative often used to euthanize animals — for sodium thiopental in their execution protocols.
