The Department of Corrections informed the Arizona Supreme Court on September 30 that it was able to obtain sufficient quantities of sodium thiopental to carry out the execution of Jeffrey Landrigan on October 26. ADOC has refused to provide information on how it obtained the drugs, citing security concerns.
Mr. Landrigan’s attorneys have requested the Arizona Supreme Court stay the execution, in order to allow them to conduct DNA testing. His attorneys have further moved the Court to order ADOC to provide information on the source of the drugs and to adhere to the current lethal injection protocol.
