Warning . . .
These deets are gory AND YET they are very much a real part of an upcoming state action following even more horrific atrocities documented in the killer's conviction.

A federal court appeal focuses on how Missouri injects the fatal dose of pentobarbital. The written protocol calls for insertion of primary and secondary intravenous lines.
