An internal review of Alabama’s execution procedures is complete and the state will resume lethal injections, Gov. Kay Ivey announced Friday.
In a Friday letter to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, Ivey wrote that it is “time to resume our duty in carrying out lawful death sentences.” “It is preposterous to believe that the agency responsible for botching multiple executions can responsibly and thoroughly investigate itself and suggest remedies to correct its own behavior,” Alison Mollman, Senior Counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama said in a statement before Ivey announced the completion of the review.
Hamm said the vetting process for the new medical personnel will begin immediately. His letter did not elaborate on what duties those workers will perform or what additional equipment was ordered.
