Republican attorneys general from 15 states filed documents Monday with the Nevada Supreme Court arguing that drug company Alvogen’s claims are a part of a “guerrilla war against the death penalty.”
Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt has asked the state’s high court to quickly review the matter so convicted killer Scott Raymond Dozier’s twice-postponed lethal injection can be put back on track for mid-November.
A judge blocked Dozier’s execution hours before it was scheduled in July so she could hear Alvogen’s claims that Nevada improperly obtained its sedative midazolam. A second drugmaker has joined the case.
