211965P.pdf   08/16/2022  Stacey Johnson  v.  Asa Hutchinson
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-1965
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Kelly and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - Death Penalty. Arkansas's three-drug execution protocol is 
   constitutional; with no scientific consensus and a paucity of reliable 
   scientific evidence concerning the effect of large doses of midazolam on 
   humans, the district court did not clearly err in finding plaintiffs, 
   Arkansas death-row inmates, failed to demonstrate that the protocol is 
   sure or very likely to cause severe pain, and the district court properly 
   dismissed their Eighth Amendment claim. Judge Kelly, concurring.
