This week Ohio carried out its first lethal injection since executions were stopped in 2014 after a lethal injection caused an inmate to take an unusually long amount of time to die. In the recent execution, a new combination lethal injection drugs was used for the first time in Ohio which included midazolam, a sedative found in complicated executions in other states.
Coming up, we're talking about executions in Ohio and the latest in state and national news with a panel of reporters.
