The Associated Press reports that Ohio is changing the two-drug cocktail it uses in executions after it was administered to an "inmate who repeatedly gasped and snorted during a troubling 26-minute execution." The inmate's children are suing the state, arguing their father endured needless pain and suffering.
Instead, the state is going to use thiopental sodium, but that drug is no longer readily available in the United States.
