Ohio is struggling to find medical professionals willing to advise the state on the best way to put condemned inmates to death.
Attorney General Richard Cordray says in a court filing that ethical and professional considerations are deterring doctors and others from offering advice about lethal injection. Executions for inmates, such as Kenneth Biros of Trumbull County, are on hold in Ohio while the state develops new injection policies following a Sept. 15 execution that was stopped because the inmate had no usable veins.
