COMMENTS: This Will Not Hurt a Bit
Elsewhere in the criminal justice system, CBS' Randall Pinkston filed an Eye on Crime feature on lethal injections. North Carolina is the latest of nine states that has suspended its death penalty. It cannot find physicians to act as executioners because its Medical Board has threatened sanctions against doctors who kill. Dr Charles van der Horst of the University of North Carolina described what is required: "To mix the chemicals, to get the needle into the vein properly, to judge the dose that is correct for this particular person and to make sure they are dead. That is committing murder." The state is suing the Medical Board to withdraw its ban.
