The article focuses on the issue of state of Missouri facing a shortage of the lethal injection drug pentobarbital as because its Danish manufacturer was not allowing its use in executions. Topics discussed include use of lethal dose of propofol for execution of convicted serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin, protest of death penalty opponents against the secrecy surrounding the drug and U.S Supreme Court's approval of Kentucky's three-drug protocol by a 7-2 vote in court case Baze v. Rees.
