Nebraska Executes Death Row Prisoner Using Fentanyl for First Time in U.S. History
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in Nebraska, authorities executed Carey Dean Moore using a four-drug
cocktail that included fentanyl, which had never been used before in an
execution in the United States. It was the first execution in Nebraska
in more than 20 years. Journalists who witnessed the execution said
Moore's face turned red, then purple, and that the execution took over
20 minutes from the moment the first drug was administered.
