Judge Declines to Block Executions of 2 Arkansas Inmates
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/let...nmates-n749761
A federal district judge in Arkansas declined two inmates' plea on Friday night to block the use of a controversial lethal injection drug, which is set to expire at the end of the month.
Jack Jones and Marcel Williams are scheduled to be put to death on Monday night and they asked the courts to stop the Arkansas Department of Correction from using midazolam because they believe it would cause them unnecessary harm due to their obesity and other health reasons.
District Court Judge Kristine Baker wrote that the two inmates' argument "falls short of demonstrating a significant possibility ... that the Arkansas protocol is 'sure or very likely' to cause severe pain and needless suffering."
Arkansas death-row inmates Jack Harold Jones Jr., left, and Marcel Williams are scheduled for execution on April 24, 2017.

Arkansas Kills First of Two Death Row Inmates
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/let...onight-n750291
CUMMINS UNIT, Ark. — Arkansas executed one man on Monday night as another condemned man is waiting for the state to fulfill his death sentence later in the evening.
The Arkansas Department of Correction administered its lethal injection $#@!tail to Jack Jones, 52, at 7:06 p.m. and a coroner pronounced him dead at 7:20.
Jones' last words were lengthy, among them he apologized to his victims' families and said, "I hope over time you could learn who I really am, and that I am not a monster."
The state had scheduled Marcel Williams, 46, to be executed at 8:15 p.m. CT, only 65 minutes after Jones' death.
But that killing was put on hold after Williams lawyers asked for and received a stay by claiming that Jones' execution was "torturous."
A judge with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas was expected to decide on whether the state could proceed Monday night.
