While Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) maintains a firm stance on the effectiveness of the death penalty in managing drug trafficking in Singapore, the article presents evidence suggesting that the methodologies and interpretations of these studies might not be as substantial as portrayed.

Arizona hands over execution drug info to court

Arizona Death Chamber
Arizona has handed over information on the execution drug it plans on using in 2 upcoming executions after a judge ordered the release.

The documents filed in federal court in Phoenix Saturday show the pentobarbital to be used at Wednesday's execution of Edward Schad and that of Robert Glen Jones Jr. on Oct. 23 expires in November. It comes from Denmark-based Lundbeck, Inc., which stopped selling it for executions in July 2011.

Lawyers for the inmates were worried the state may not have unexpired, FDA approved drugs. Arizona uses just 1 drug in its executions.

U.S. District Judge Roslyn Silver ordered the release Friday. Federal public defender Dale Baich says he doesn't know why the state tried to hide the information.

Last-minute appeals are ongoing for both inmates.
