Alabama death penalty

Governor Kay Ivey says an internal review of the state's execution procedures is complete and the state will begin scheduling lethal injections. She initiated the review in November after three lethal injections were aborted because of problems with intravenous lines.

Alabama’s decision to change how it carries out executions is still drawing criticism. The state’s Supreme Court abolished the one-day time frame for executions allowing the governor to extend the amount of time needed to execute someone.

The State of Alabama is apparently responding to a series of failed lethal injections by changing the rules by which the Department of Corrections executes death row inmates.

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled on a request for a new trial for a man convicted of killing a Deputy Sheriff. The district attorney, former state attorney general, and a former chief justice all say the case should be re-examined.
