State of Nebraska Asks Supreme Court to Dismiss Ryan Appeal
The state of Nebraska has asked the Nebraska Supreme
Court to dismiss the latest appeal from condemned killer Michael
Ryan.
Attorney General Jon Bruning says Monday that the court should
reject the appeal because there's no doubt about Ryan's guilt and
the "meritless appeals only serve to delay justice."
Ryan was sentenced to death for the 1985 cult-related killing of James Thimm near Rulo.
The court in February put Ryan's execution on hold while he
pursued a lower court challenge to how Nebraska obtained one of
three drugs that would be used to execute him.
The state is resisting an order to turn over to federal
authorities the state supply of the drug, sodium thiopental.
