Title: Company to stop making drug commonly used in executions (Moving plant to socialized Italy from red state loving North Carolina)

Company to stop making drug commonly used in executions

By Rob Stein

Washington Post Staff Writer

Saturday, January 22, 2011; 12:00 AM

The U.S. company that makes a drug most states use in lethal injection announced Friday that it would no longer produce the powerful anesthetic, a decision that throws capital punishment in the United States into disarray.

The decision by Hospira of Lake Forest., Ill., was prompted by demands from Italy, which does not have capital punishment, that no sodium thiopental - which the company had planned to make at its plant outside Milan - be used for executions, officials said.

"We determined we could not prevent the drug from being diverted for use in capital punishment," said Dan Rosenberg, a Hospira spokesman. He noted that the company never condoned the drug's use for lethal injection and had hoped to continue making it for medical use.

Hospira's move will force states and the federal government to look for alternatives to the drug, which could require lengthy approval processes and result in costly, long-running legal challenges.

The company had planned to shift production from a plant in North Carolina to a facility in Liscate, Italy. But after those plans became public, the Italian Parliament demanded the company ensure the drug would be used only for medical purposes.

This is one case of outsourcing I approve of. Capital Punishment is an evil we need to ban in this country.

Why? Do you think the public is better served spending hundreds of thousands,and maybe even millions,of dollars feeding,providing medical care,housing,and providing guards for protection for people like Ted Bundy that if that money were spent buying food or providing medical care or housing for the truly needy?

And no matter how much you socialists pretend otherwise,there IS a limit to the amount of money the government can collect and divert for these purposes.

As much as have no problem with executing violent criminals, I have a big problem trusting the government to only execute the guilty. There have been numerous examples of innocent people being put to death, or sitting on death row, due to government malfeasance.

So do I.

No question about it. The only effective way to stop that sort of thing is to make it mandatory to charge any court official or LEO that manufactures evidence against an innocent suspect or hides evidence proving innocence should be brought up on trial for kidnapping and attempted murder themselves.

AND have mandatory sentencing of a minimum of 20 years in a maximum security federal prison with no time off for good behavior and no pardons. Period.

I can guarantee you that this would have to be done only a couple of times in large cities where the press and media picked up on it,and that sort of thing would become as rare as rooster lips overnight.

That won't stop it - there are plenty of examples of honest DAs and police officers convinced of a suspect's guilt when that suspect is innocent.

That's true,but that's not the same thing as manufacturing or hiding evidence in order to get a conviction.

Agreed, but my point was that honest mistakes do happen, and innocent people have been put to death as a result.

I've never understood why those who rant the most against "government" seem to be the staunchest proponents of allowing government the power to kill its citizens.

It's their religious backgrounds. They want sinners to be punished. They want revenge.

They don't understand that the reason behind the death penalty is not to punish sinners or get revenge,but to make society safe from monsters. You can't bring the murdered child (for example)back to life by executing the murderer,but you can prevent that murderer from murdering any other children by executing them.

I know death penalty opponents claim that a sentence of life without parole takes care of that problem,but it doesn't because laws and sentences can be changed. IMHO,the death penalty should be reserved for the most outrageous cases,and even then only apply to the actual murderers in cases where they is no possible chance of the defendant being innocent. Cases like the recent one where the loon tried to kill the congresswoman and ended up killing a bunch of other people and getting tackled and subdued right on the murder scene. There can be no doubt as to his guilt,and there is no good reason his trial,sentencing,and execution should take over a week.

Agreed, but it's impossible to design a system that has a 0% failure rate.

Maybe,but it would be no trick at all to come up with a better process than we have now.
