REPORT: Appeals court decides on Trump DOJ’s request to resume executions
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by TheHill.com:
A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., on Monday denied the Justice Department’s efforts to lift a temporary halt on four federal executions.
The department had appealed a trial judge’s ruling last month that ordered a stay of the executions while a separate legal challenge to the Trump administration’s new lethal injection protocol plays out.
The article goes on to state the following:
The longest running of the four lawsuits was filed 16 years ago, and the cases went dormant during the Obama administration amid a shortage of lethal injection drugs.
Attorney General William Barr announced in July that federal executions would resume using a new lethal injection that utilizes a single drug, pentobarbital.
