Take Two translates the day’s headlines for Southern California, making sense of the news and cultural events that affect our lives. Produced by Southern California Public Radio and broadcast from October 2012 – June 2021. Hosted by A Martinez.
The life of death row inmate Warren Lee Hill hangs in the balance in Georgia, as a court takes up a challenge to the drugs to be used in his planned execution.
The state of Georgia forbids the release of information about the origins of the lethal injection, which has become increasingly hard to come by as companies shy away from producing the drugs. The scarcity of the medication has paused executions in states that use the death penalty, including California, where more than 700 inmates wait on death row.
Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, joins the show with more.
