CEDAR CITY, Utah — A judge has signed a death warrant setting an execution for Taberon Honie on August 8.
The judge allowed Honie to once again choose whether to die by lethal injection or firing squad. Honie declined to say, so the judge entered a lethal injection method for him. Much of Monday's hearing focused on a new cocktail of lethal injection drugs the state intends to use to execute Honie. His attorneys argued they are entitled to know more about the drugs being used and how they are administered. They also demanded that as a result, state corrections officials must update their execution protocols . Lawyers for the state argued repeatedly that updating those execution protocols is unnecessary.
The last time the state executed a death row inmate, it was Ronnie Lee Gardner in 2010. He died by firing squad.
