Judge Allows Death Row Inmate To Review Execution Manual

As the state prepares to execute a death penalty sentence for the first time in over a decade, the condemned inmate and his lawyers will be able to review the state’s execution manual according to a recent court order.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Scott Raymond Dozier is scheduled to be put to death November 14 for two murder convictions, and Thursday District Judge Jennifer Togliatti ruled the manual released to them – but not to the public.

Some controversy has come over the state’s untried method of execution, which consists of the drugs diazepam, fentanyl, and a muscle relaxant.

Federal public defenders representing Dozier want the method to be reviewed by a medical expert.
