Blog post C9-1 Ohio's Supreme Court Rejects a challenge to the lethal injection

Since we are studying the Supreme Court in class, this article from NBC News is about an death row inmate challenging the lethal injection. The inmates case was saying how it was unconstitutional that how since the state messed up the first time with the injection its unconstitutional to try again. The inmate, Rowell Broom, got inserted with the needles over 18 times, but the vein would not hold. The Ohio's Supreme Court rejected his appeal. The ruling said he was never in jeopardy of execution since he was in his cell when the first needles were being inserted. He was never in the death chamber and the lethal chemical had not begun to flow so Ohio's Supreme Court turned down the case.
