Judge dismisses Ohio inmate's drug law claim
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A federal judge has tossed out an inmate's claim that Ohio's lethal injection chemicals violate federal prescription drug laws.
Darryl Durr, who is scheduled to be executed Tuesday, argued that the law requires doctors to prescribe and administer such drugs, neither of which happens in Ohio.
U.S. District Court Judge Gregory Frost on Thursday dismissed the case. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a similar argument brought by death row inmates 25 years ago.
Durr has several other lawsuits pending, including one in which he argues that he could be violently allergic to the anesthetic Ohio uses to put inmates to death.
Durr was sentenced to die for raping and strangling a 16-year-old Elyria (eh-LEER'-ee-uh) girl in 1988.
