Arkansas Denied It's Rush Executions

The US Supreme Court spared the life of two Arkansas inmates minutes before their death warrants were due to expire on Monday, scuttling efforts to resume the death penalty after nearly 12 years in the state with a plan to carry out four double executions before its supply of a lethal injection drug expires.

[...]

Arkansas had initially planned to execute eight prisoners in just 11 days - before its supply of a lethal injection drug expires on May 1. It has not found a new supplier of the controversial drug, midazolam.

Legal battles have prevented the state from executing any prisoner since 2005.
