Florida Supreme Court was warned, but insisted Floridas lethal injection procedure was safe





We deny relief. Our review of the current lethal injection procedures, attached
to the State's response, reveals nothing that would cause this Court to revisit our
previous conclusions "that procedures for administering the lethal injection as attested
do not violate the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment."
Rutherford v. State, 926 So. 2d 1100, 1113 (Fla. 2006) (quoting Hill v. State, 921 So.
2d 579, 583 (Fla. 2006), and Sims v. State, 753 So. 2d 657, 668 (Fla. 2000)).
