Death Row Inmates Jones, Williams Denied Motions for Preliminary Injunctions
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Legal proceedings ahead the remaining scheduled executions are beginning to stir.
District Judge Kristine Baker denied Thursday the motions for preliminary injunctions filed by Inmate Jack Jones and Inmate Marcel Williams in their claims that the drug midazolam will not work on them due to their obesity.
Jones and Williams are both scheduled to be executed Monday, April 24.
The court determined that the evidence presented in the hearings fell short of demonstrating a significant possibility that the Arkansas protocol is ‘sure or very likely’ to cause severe pain and needless suffering. Therefore, the motions were denied.
