Quote:An Arkansas death row inmate who had been scheduled for execution Monday was temporarily spared after decisions from the US Supreme Court and Arkansas Supreme Court.http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/17/us/arkansas-executions/
On Monday evening, Don Davis had been given what was to be his last meal at the Cummins Unit, the Arkansas prison that houses the state's execution chamber. As midnight approached, his fate remained unclear pending further court action.
Davis had been one of eight Arkansas inmates scheduled to die this month.
As a quick summary of the background..Arkansas can;t (for a host of reasons) get the drugs it needs to kill people. They were forced to try their own homebrew. One ingredient of which is a mystery to the state and the manufacturers..since no one in either camp seems to know where the state sourced the component or whom they sourced it from. The other has a shelf life. The executions were scheduled so as to get some killin in before the homebrew went bad, and particularly now that the suppliers of the chemicals they were using found out what they were using them for, and decided not to sell them any more.
