Ohio proceeds with lethal injection execution

As well covered at ODPI, James Filiaggi lost his last-minute attempts to challenge the Ohio’s lethal injection method and his execution went forward this morning.  The Sixth Circuit this morning issued this two-page opinion explaining its decision to deny Filiaggi a stay. 

Texas has another execution scheduled for this week.  In early may, Indiana, Nebraska and Tennessee all have scheduled executions, so I suspect we will be seeing more lethal injection litigation before too long.
