Letter: Death row

Published 27 November 2013

From Gregory Sams

I read of the crisis in the US penal system arising from the difficulty of obtaining supplies for lethal injections. Although no advocate of the death penalty, I am appalled by the inability to consider readily available morphine, presumably because of the risk that a criminal might die with a smile.
