ACLU To Deliver Death Penalty Petition Today

The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada will deliver a petition to Governor Brian Sandoval Monday, asking him to help prevent the use of an untested combination of lethal drugs to execute convicted killer Scott Dozier. 

The Nevada Independent reports that the petition is part of a strategy to keep Dozier from being executed, despite the fact that Dozier himself has asked the state to carry out the execution. 

The execution has been delayed over concerns about the drug combination scheduled to be used, and as of now, the delay hangs on an order from the Nevada Supreme Court, which has not given a date for its decision.
