Virginia law does not allow using compounded drugs for execution even if they were available-bill introduced to allow execution by electrocution

During the week:

 

Execution by electrocution bills -- (HB1052 Miller and (SB607) Carrico --  are examples of identical bills that meander successfully through several committee hearings and floor debates but receive opposite results in the opposite body.  With new information and continuing confusion about lethal drug availability SB607 was defeated in the Senate Courts of Justice Committee. HB1502, however, survived the House committees and the House Floor 64-32 sending it to the Senate for action where it was defeated in a committee and never went to the Senate floor for a vote. Currently, Virginia law does not allow using compounded drugs for execution even if they were available. Further confusion occurred with the report that the Department of Corrections has obtained a substitute drug.
