For the second time in four years the Arizona Department will be going to court to defend the way it carries out executions. A group of death-row prisoners persuaded a federal judge on July 20 to examine whether the state has violated their constitutional rights when executioners deviated from Arizona's lethal-injection protocol, or policies, during the last five executions.
Arizona needed an executioner in 2010 when several death-row inmates were at the end of their appeals. Getting one was simply a matter of a single phone call. Department of Corrections Director Charles Ryan called the doctor at the clinic where he worked and he agreed to be paid $6,000 a day to mix the deadly batch of chemicals for the lethal injections and other medical tasks related to the executions.

ATLANTA - Prison officials around the country have been going to extraordinary and in at least one case, legally questionable lengths to obtain a scarce lethal-injection drug, securing it from middlemen in Britain and a manufacturer in India and borrowing it from other states to keep their executions on track, according to records reviewed by The Associated Press.

PHOENIX -- Deaf, nearly blind, confined to a wheelchair and suffering from dementia and mental illness, the oldest death row inmate in the United States has died of natural causes at age 94. Viva Leroy Nash died late Friday at the state's prison complex in Florence, said an Arizona Department of Corrections spokesman.
A lawyer for death-row inmate Donald Beaty argued today that his execution should be delayed one to two months so the defense can investigate whether switching one of the drugs used in executions is constitutional. Beaty, who was convicted and sentenced to death in the 1984 murder of 13-year-old Christy Ann Fornoff, was set to die by lethal injection today, but the Arizona Supreme Court put that on hold to hear arguments after the Arizona Department of Corrections decided at the last minute Tuesday to switch one barbiturate for another as part of the three-drug mixture.
