Nebraska set to execute first person in two decades

One week from today, the state of Nebraska is scheduled to perform its first execution in two decades.

Carey Dean Moore’s execution is set for next Tuesday at 10 a.m.

It will be the first-ever lethal injection with an untried four-drug combination.

That includes a powerful opioid and a paralyzing drug that could conceal whether something has gone wrong.

Moore tried to appeal his sentence, but has since stopped fighting.
