Arizona has executed a prisoner by lethal injection after the Supreme Court overturned a temporary stay. Jeffrey Landrigan had been on death row for twenty years for a 1989 murder conviction. His lawyers had sought to force Arizona officials to disclose whether the drugs used for his lethal injection were legally obtained. An appeals court sided with the defense, but the Supreme Court overruled the decision earlier this week.
