Missouri death row inmate Brian Dorsey facing 'surgery without anesthesia': lawyer
nypost.com/2024/04/06/us-news/missouri-death-row-inmate-facing-surgery-without-anesthesia-lawyer/
Quick Glance: Missouri death row inmate facing 'surgery without anesthesia': lawyer
- The Missouri Supreme Court denied a request to halt the execution of Brian Dorsey, a death row inmate scheduled to be put to death through lethal injection, despite concerns raised by his legal team about the lack of anesthesia during a potential surgical procedure.
- State law mandates the establishment of primary and intravenous lines for the lethal injection, but fails to specify the extent to which the execution team can intervene to locate a suitable vein.
- Citing Dorsey's medical history and conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and past IV drug use, his lawyers have highlighted the increased challenges in finding a viable vein without resorting to invasive procedures.
- In addition to the appeals from numerous corrections officers urging Governor Mike Parson for clemency, leaders within the community have also expressed support for Dorsey.
