Missouri misled on execution drugs used: media report

Missouri officials have not been truthful about the drugs and methods used in recent executions, misleading lawyers for death row inmates and the public, according to a St. Louis Public Radio investigation broadcast on Wednesday. In all nine executions since then, Missouri's execution team has injected inmates set to die with significant amounts of the sedative before using the pentobarbital, it said. This is an issue of them deliberately misleading the (inmates), the lawyers, the courts and the general public," said Kathryn Parish, a lawyer representing Missouri inmate Earl Ringo, who is scheduled to be put to death on Sept. 10. Parish said she and other lawyers for Missouri death row inmates would be filing court action based on the public radio report.
