On Saturday, October 23, Judge Roslyn Silver of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona ordered the State to publicly disclose the manufacturer and expiration date of the sodium thiopental it intends to use in the execution of Jeffrey Landrigan. The order came after the State declined Judge Silver’s request for the voluntary disclosure of such information. As of this morning, the State has continued to refuse the public disclosure of the drug’s manufacturer, although it has disclosed the expiration date of May 2014.
