In the US, an informal moratorium was announced on lethal injection executions in September 2007. States feared that they could challenged on a constitutional level for imposing a "cruel and unusual punishment" on convicts. Lethal injection is a controversial form of capital punishment that is practiced in 37 states.
Despite being seen as the most "humane" option, lethal injection has many critics. Studies suggest that some prisoners are inadequately sedated and suffocate in agony.
However, on April 14, 2008, the supreme court decided lethal injection does not violate the constitution's ban on "cruel and unusual punishment." Virginia's governor immediately gave the go ahead for backed up executions to resume.
