Ohio's execution of Kenneth Biros

Ohio's new single-drug lethal injection protocol appears to have worked as expected yesterday morning in the execution of Kenneth Biros at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, Ohio. An Associated Press article this morning said, "experts had predicted the single drug used, sodium thiopental — used in many parts of the world to put pets down — would take longer to kill than the old method used by Ohio and another 34 states. But the 10 minutes it took Biros to die was about as long as it has taken other inmates in Ohio and elsewhere to succumb to the three-drug combination."
