Executions already take more than a dozen years from time of sentence to be carried out, so more delay.
Via CNN:
Ohio delayed the scheduled executions of a dozen inmates on Monday, citing difficulties getting the necessary drugs.
The next execution in Ohio is now set for January 2017, according to a release from the state’s Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC).
“DRC continues to seek all legal means to obtain the drugs necessary to carry out court ordered executions, but over the past few years it has become exceedingly difficult to secure those drugs because of severe supply and distribution restrictions,” the release read. “The new dates are designed to provide DRC additional time necessary to secure the required execution drugs.”
