As of this writing, only one dose remains of a drug used to execute death row inmates, of which Oklahoma currently has 64.
Pentobarbital, a sedative, is the first drug administered in the three-step lethal injection process. Its manufacturers have stopped selling pentobarbital to prison systems.
Now Oklahoma has itself in a pickle:
How will we kill those other 63 death row inmates?
State law provides for other methods — Old Sparky or a firing squad — but only if lethal injection is declared unconstitutional.
Lemme guess, it's too humane to starve them for a couple of days and them slip them an Ambien laced sandwich with a big ol glass of wiskey? Call me an a-hole if you will, but if you've made it to death row I don't have a lot of sympathy for you. This would still be more civilized than electrocution or firing squad.
