Arizona executes inmate after stay is lifted

None

Arizona has executed Jeffrey Landrigan for a 1989 murder in the state's first execution since 2007.

 

Landrigan died by injection at a state prison in Florence at 10:29 pm Tuesday after a stay issued by a federal judge was lifted by the US Supreme Court. That stay was based on questions about the effectiveness of the state's supply of an execution drug in short supply. (AP)
