USA. Drug company lawsuit stalls Nevada inmate's opioid execution
A Nevada execution, which would have been the first in the US to use the synthetic opioid fentanyl, has been delayed by a judge.
Pharmaceutical firm Alvogen argued the state had illegitimately obtained one of its drugs and that the proposed drug combination was untested in executions. (BBC, 11.07.2018)
