Gov. Kay Ivey has asked the Alabama Supreme Court to change a longstanding rule that executions in Alabama are restricted by court order to a single day. The state is also considering starting executions earlier on the designated day.
In both cases, the execution procedures started late because of stays issued by federal courts. The U.S. Supreme Court lifted those stays, allowing Alabama to proceed a few hours late. But the execution teams had trouble accessing the veins of the Miller and Smith. Both executions were called off because of concerns that the procedure could not be finished by midnight, when the death sentence orders expired.
“If the date designated in the execution warrant passes by reason of a stay of execution, or due to a delay in the execution process caused by a stay of execution, then a new date shall be designated promptly by the Commissioner of Corrections,” the proposal says. Ivey wrote that another change is under consideration. Alabama begins its executions at 6 p.m. Ivey wrote that Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner John Hamm is looking at the possibility of moving the time to earlier in the day.of the execution procedure after the failure of the lethal injections. The governor asked Attorney General Steve Marshall to withdraw requests to the Alabama Supreme Court for new execution date requests until the review could be finished.
