Utah will include ketamine and fentanyl in its three-drug lethal injection cocktail — a combination that a death row inmate's attorney argues are 'experimental' and 'untested.'
The announcement comes as defense attorneys argue death row inmates weren’t given proper notice of which drugs would be used in executions.
The announcement also comes just a day after his attorneys argued to call off the execution because the state hadn’t given him and other condemned prisoners adequate notice of which drugs would be used. Officials announced the lethal injection drugs ahead of Taberon Honie’s Monday hearing, where 5th District Court Judge Jeffrey C. Wilcox will hear arguments to determine whether to issue an execution warrant.
He hasn’t yet chosen which execution method would be used, and his attorneys argue he hasn’t been able to properly vet his choices.
