A Utah judge has set an August date for the execution of a man convicted in the 1998 killing of a 49-year-old woman in her home
A Utah judge on Monday set an August date for the execution of a man convicted in the 1998 killing of a 49-year-old woman, siding against defense attorneys concerned about a new lethal injection drug combination. Taberon Dave Honie, 48, is set to be killed on Aug. 8 after decades of failed appeals. It's the first public execution in Utah since Ronnie Lee Gardner was killed by firing squad in 2010, according to Utah Department of Corrections spokesperson Glen Mills.
“I am not prepared after hearing the arguments today to rule and say that these protocols are required before this court will sign a writ of execution,' Wilcox said in court. He added that prisoners don't have a due process right to receive the terms of their execution protocol. But Wilcox requested that information about the administration of the drugs for the execution be provided to Honie as soon as possible.
