It's reported that sodium thiopental, the first of the three-drug cocktail in lethal injections, has been in short supply across the US and the state of Oklahoma responded a few days ago by using a veterinarian drug instead. Some other states have suspended executions.
Strangely, none of the news reports about this issue discuss in any length why this drug is in short supply. My own suspicion is that this drug has become entirely obsolete, except in the case of lethal injection. Is my suspicion correct?
