    A series of botched executions in 2014 have once again thrown the death penalty into the spotlight—and with it, lethal injection as a method of execution. States are trying new, untested protocols and procuring drugs from largely unregulated compounding pharmacies. They are passing secrecy statutes to shield their execution procedures and drugs from public scrutiny. And they are reconsidering other, more gruesome methods of execution. Each of these developments raises serious constitutional concerns, and the Supreme Court’s recent grant of certiorari in a lethal injection case out of Oklahoma, Glossip v. Gross, raises many more questions.
