WARNING - Due to the rising costs of ammunition, warning shots will no longer be given.
First I've heard of it and I have no idea. I suppose its their right to deny service to anyone they want. Aren't there pharmacies in Missouri?
Personally, the way things are going, I'd just as soon they fired up old Sparky again in Oklahoma.

I don't get it. I was trying to understand the point of the article. I'm lost. Why would they throw out the verdict simply because the convict couldn't "come to terms" whatever that is, with the pharmacy that is going to help kill him?
Duh? Maybe I need more coffee.
WARNING - Due to the rising costs of ammunition, warning shots will no longer be given.
I don't get it either. and how did he find out wehre they got the drug from anyway and how would he contact them? Through his attorney I guess. But that sure is a bizarro strategery.
BKB
Yeah.
I got the impression (Guess???) that the convict gets to choose his pharmacy maybe???
Regardless of how or why..............why would that POSSIBLY result in a thrown out verdict?
WARNING - Due to the rising costs of ammunition, warning shots will no longer be given.
I've read this thing three times and for the life of me, I can't see where the verdict was "thrown out".
They can ASK the judge to kiss their collective asses ... where does it say he'll do it?According to the documents, the Tulsa pharmacy will not prepare or provide pentobarbital or any other drug for use in Taylor's execution. The documents ask a judge to dismiss the case.
Did I miss something?
The thing I find most interesting is Bucky is reading the left wing liberal socialistic NBC news. I won't even read or watch those assholes and I purty much will watch or read any news.

That's not any more amazing than you reading Fox News. I find the National Barack Channel to be easier to get up to date stock market info from.........
Jim, my point was that they asked them to throw it out..........I didn't imply that it was done. I was asking how they could even REQUEST it, on what basis???
WARNING - Due to the rising costs of ammunition, warning shots will no longer be given.
Well, I just re-read your 10:08 post and it seems there's been a "minor" edit there. When did the capitalized word "POSSIBLY" get inserted there?
The dude pleaded guilty to first degree murder. I guess his original execution date was in 2006 and the US Supreme Court blocked it because the possibility of 'cruel and unusual ' punishment. I don't remember that far back, wasn't Missouri having some difficulty with their executions then? This is the case that Alito cast the decided vote in.

From the Tulsa World today. This clarifies a little.

OKLAHOMA CITY —- A Tulsa pharmacy has agreed not to provide Missouri with a made-to-order drug for an inmate's execution scheduled for later this month, according to court documents filed Monday.
According to the documents, The Apothecary Shoppe will not prepare or provide pentobarbital or any other drug for use in Michael Taylor's execution.
The documents ask a judge to dismiss the case that Taylor's lawyers had filed against the pharmacy seeking to stop it from providing the execution drug.
Taylor's attorney, Matt Hellman, said that as part of the deal, the pharmacy acknowledged it has not already provided any such drug to the Missouri Department of Corrections for the execution, which is scheduled for Feb. 26.
The Missouri Department of Corrections and the attorney general's office did not immediately return calls Monday night seeking comment about the agreement or the status of Taylor's execution.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon indicated last week that the state has drugs to carry out Taylor's execution. Nixon, speaking at a news conference Thursday, did not directly answer "yes" or "no" when asked about the availability of the execution drug but said, "In order to complete that ultimate responsibility, that's necessary. The Department of Corrections is prepared to carry out that execution."
Taylor pleaded guilty to abducting, raping and stabbing to death a 15-year-old Kansas City girl in 1989.
The Apothecary Shoppe has not acknowledged that it supplies a compounded version of pentobarbital to Missouri for use in lethal injections, as Taylor says, and says it can't because of a Missouri law requiring the identities of those on the state's execution team to be kept confidential.
In his lawsuit, Taylor alleged that Missouri turned to The Apothecary Shoppe to supply compounded pentobarbital because the only licensed manufacturer of the drug refuses to provide it for lethal injections. That company, Illinois-based Akorn Inc., agreed to that condition when it bought the exclusive rights to the drug in January 2012 from a Danish company that had produced it under the trade name Nembutal.
Taylor contends that several recent executions in which compounded pentobarbital was used showed it would likely cause him "severe, unnecessary, lingering and ultimately inhumane pain."
Within 20 seconds of receiving his lethal injection on Jan. 9 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, 38-year-old Michael Lee Wilson said: "I feel my whole body burning."
This statement describes "a sensation consistent with receipt of contaminated pentobarbital," Taylor alleges.
The lawsuit also cites the Oct. 15, 2012, execution in South Dakota of Eric Robert. Robert, 50 cleared his throat, gasped for air and then snored after receiving the lethal injection, which included compounded pentobarbital. His skin turned a purplish hue and his heart continued to beat for 10 minutes after he stopped breathing, the lawsuit contends.
It took 20 minutes for authorities to declare Robert dead.
"These events are consistent with receipt of a contaminated or sub-potent compounded drug," the lawsuit says.
Taylor's lawsuit questions whether the Tulsa pharmacy can legally produce and deliver compounded pentobarbital.
It says the pharmacy is not registered as a drug manufacturer with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and alleges that it violates federal law each time it delivers the drug across state lines to Missouri corrections officials.

If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
I just hate it when these creeps are treated better than their victims. Kinda wish we'd go back to the old "eye for an eye" style punishment. I'm sure there are more than a few cons who would jump at the chance to butt-rape this guy before they start stabbing his worthless ass.
Cruel and unusual punishment ... Sheeesh!!
Within 20 seconds of receiving his lethal injection on Jan. 9 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, 38-year-old Michael Lee Wilson said: "I feel my whole body burning."
That's just a preview of how he's gonna feel for eternity.
