The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has ruled that Virginia is not required to disclose to Mississippi death-row prisoners information on how it obtained the drugs it used in recent executions. The prisoners sought the information in connection with a challenge to Mississippi's lethal-injection protocol in an effort to meet the requirement established by the U.S. Supreme Court that they prove that different drugs are available to Mississippi to carry out their execution.
