Moreover, the collection of multiple, timed post-mortem blood samples from individual inmates in Connecticut and North Carolina was clearly intended to address questions regarding thiopental redistribution [10]. methods, in part due to the appearance of a peaceful death; however, available evidence indicates that some inmates actually suffer extreme pain. This has triggered legal challenges against lethal injection on the grounds that it violates the United States’ con
