    Nevada death row inmate Scott Dozier dies by apparent suicide

    (CNN) - Scott Dozier, a death row inmate in Nevada, was found dead in his cell Saturday of an apparent suicide, state department of corrections officials said.

    Dozier, 48, was hanging from a bed sheet tied to an air vent in his cell at Ely State Prison, the department said in a news release.

    He was pronounced dead at 4:35 p.m. PT.

    Dozier was to have been executed in July 2018 with a controversial never-before-used combination of drugs, but a judge's ruling regarding one of the drugs put that on hold.

    Dozier was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of Jeremiah Miller, who was killed and dismembered in 2002. The victim's torso was found in a suitcase dumped in a trash bin in Las Vegas, according to the Nevada Department of Corrections.

    Dozier was also convicted of murder in the death of another victim found buried in the Arizona desert.

    Nevada hasn't executed a prisoner since April 2006, when Daryl Mack died by injection.

    Honestly, good for him. Dozier was not at fault for how pathetic Nevada and its judiciary are. Nebraska set the prime example by not tolerating bogus drug company claims.

    How long until the judiciary there orders the DOC to reveal the manufacturer of its lethal bedsheets now?

    Nevada: Scott Dozier's death confirmed as suicide

    The death of a twice-convicted murderer who declared that he wanted to die and became frustrated when his lethal injection was postponed by legal challenges has been confirmed as a suicide, authorities said Monday.

    Scott Raymond Dozier, 48, died Jan. 4, said the office of the Clark County coroner in Las Vegas that performed the autopsy.

    Prison officials had reported that Dozier was found unresponsive in his solo cell on death-row at Ely State Prison.

    White Pine County Sheriff Scott Henriod had said there was no indication of foul play.

    Dozier said repeatedly he would rather be executed than live his life in prison.

    Critics said he sought state-assisted suicide.

    His lawyers and state attorneys revealed in federal court filings in November that Dozier tried several times in October to arrange ways to kill himself, including apparent cuts on his neck and arms and an attempt to have poison sent to him through prison mail.

    The filings came in a case in which Dozier complained that he didn't like being held under suicide watch or close-security administrative segregation.

    Prison officials said he was not on suicide watch since before the court filings in November.

    Dozier suspended appeals of his 2007 death sentence stemming from his conviction in the 2002 robbery-killing of 22-year-old Jeremiah Miller in Las Vegas.

    He also was convicted in Phoenix of 2nd-degree murder for killing 26-year-old Jasen Green in 2002.

    His execution would have been the 1st in Nevada since 2006.

    It was called off in November 2017 and July 2018 during legal challenges — 1st to a 3-drug combination that had never been used in the U.S. and then by drug companies suing to block their products from being used in an execution.

    Nevada wanted to use the sedative midazolam, the powerful opioid fentanyl and a muscle-paralyzing agent called cisatracurium for Dozier's execution. Fentanyl is a drug blamed for illegal-use, drug overdose deaths nationwide.

    Federal public defenders who represented Dozier said the combination could have rendered Dozier immobile but aware he was suffocating to death. They called it less humane than putting down a pet.

    The fight propelled Nevada to the top of a national debate about the death penalty and showed extraordinary efforts some states take to try to obtain drugs from pharmaceutical companies that insist they don't want their products used for executions.

    15 the 30 other states in the U.S. with capital punishment have backed Nevada in a drug company case still pending before the state Supreme Court.

    The states argue that harassment from advocacy groups and threats of boycotts against pharmaceutical makers are keeping prison officials from enforcing the will of voters in states with the death penalty.

    Nevada now has 79 people on death row but none immediately in line for an execution, state prisons spokeswoman Brooke Santina said.

    Nevada court dismisses order blocking use of execution drug

    The Associated Press

    The Nevada Supreme Court dismissed the argument over whether the state could use the drug midazolam to execute Scott Dozier.

    The Nevada Appeal reports that drug maker Alvogen sued to stop the state from using its drug in the execution, but Dozier killed himself, putting the case on hold.

    Both sides argued it was important to set guidance for future executions.

    The high court ruled Oct. 31 that the issue is not viable because Dozier is dead and there are no executions currently scheduled.

    Court officials said execution warrants must be signed 60 days in advance and the drug the state has on hand is set to expire in January.

    Officials say Alvogen could seek a new preliminary injunction if needed.

    Death row inmate is going to great and very creative lengths to kill himself while awaiting to be executed as Nevada‘s first in 12 years – but prison guards keep catching him

    Prison officials say Nevada death row inmate Scott Dozier has gone to great lengths to kill himself while awaiting execution, including attempting to obtain drops of a deadly drug on a piece of paper sent through prison mail.

    They also intercepted mail from the convicted killer‘s sister with instructions on how to cut the jugular vein in his neck. He was also forced to turn over razor blades he somehow secured behind bars.

    The claims are in documents state lawyers filed last week in federal court in response to Dozier‘s lawyers‘ attempts to keep him out of an isolation cell where he was being held on suicide watch.

    He is waiting for what would be Nevada‘s 1st execution in more than 12 years.

    The execution was put on hold in September when a judge banned the use of expired drugs for a lethal injection.

    US Magistrate Carla Baldwin Carry refused a defense motion earlier this month intended to ensure Dozier remains confined with other death row inmates, but is allowing his public defenders to file additional documents amending their claims.

    The legal battle includes Dozier‘s own statements that he wants to be put to death, his federal public defenders‘ argument that placing him in an isolation cell makes him more likely to attempt suicide and the state‘s insistence it must protect him from self-harm.

    Dozier‘s lawyers say he apparently cut his neck and wrist with a razor in October.

    They argue his deteriorating condition is the result of his unconstitutional treatment, including his denial of recreation time in the prison yard. They say he can‘t socialize with others, read, communicate with his family and effectively consult with legal counsel.

    They‘re seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent his return to isolation.

    Nevada Deputy Solicitor General Jordan Smith said in papers filed Friday Dozier‘s current legal counsel, federal public defenders and other anti-death penalty groups ‘have thwarted the professional wishes of its own client by filing court actions that have prevented Dozier‘s execution.‘

    ‘Dozier has repeatedly informed (prison) officials … he will take matters into his own hands and end his own life if the state is unable to carry out the execution in a timely manner,‘ Smith wrote.

    Prison staff discovered a plot by Dozier on September 21 ‘to obtain drugs in a highly concentrated form dropped onto a page of a letter through the mail,‘ he said.

    Staff later confiscated a letter instructing him to write to another inmate with an example of images of hearts to be drawn around the droplets.

    The specific liquid drug wasn‘t known but fentanyl was a likely possibility because the synthetic opiate is not detectable by prison test kits, Smith said.

    In October, Dozier gave prison staff two razor blades and nail clippers in his possession.

    In October, Dozier‘s sister attempted to provide him with a detailed anatomy textbook with information specifying the best way to ensure death by cutting the jugular or major neck arteries, Smith said.

    He said guards intercepted two pieces of mail from his sister with a hand-written diagram of the cardiovascular system. One said it ‘takes about 2 minutes to bleed to death if the internal jugular is cut‘.

    On October 17, Dozier provided prison staff 2 razor blades and nail clippers in his possession, Smith said.

    ‘Given that his family was attempting to help him learn how to cut his throat, it was objectively reasonable to restrict certain phone calls,‘ Smith wrote.

    Those concerns ended November 2 and Dozier was returned to death row.

    ‘But any court ruling preventing the state from protecting Dozier‘s well-being, if needed, may have the effect of facilitating Dozier‘s suicide.‘

    In a separate case, state Attorney General Adam Laxalt has until December 26 to file his latest briefs in an appeal to the state Supreme Court of a judge‘s ruling in September that the state can‘t use its preferred mixture of 3 drugs to put Dozier to death because prison officials obtained drug manufacturer Alvogen‘s sedative midazolam through ‘subterfuge,‘ or deceit.

    The state‘s prison director, James Dzurenda, testified earlier that he disregarded letters from three drug manufacturers who did not want their medication used in an execution.

    Dozier was sentenced to death in 2007 for robbing, killing and dismembering 22-year-old Jeremiah Miller at a Las Vegas motel in 2002.

    Miller had come to Nevada to buy ingredients to make meth. His decapitated torso was found in a suitcase.

    Jennifer Togliatti, the judge who handled this case and gave Dozier his first stay has been nominated for a Federal District seat by Trump.

    She isn't the first more like the thirty-fifth.
