Last Tuesday, the state of Ohio executed a death row inmate using a single drug method. No other state is currently using the technique. Do they know something Ohio doesn't? Some attorneys argue that the new procedure amounts to human experimentation but others say the single-drug method is less painful than the previous three-drug practice. Who's right and what's next for lethal injections? Join Regina Brett and guests, Friday at 9 on 90.3.
