Injection and Admin. Pro.

Update: The state will appeal, says prison chief James Tilton in this story in the Stockton Record.

------------------------------------------------------------

A judge of the Superior Court for Marin County, home of The Big Q, decided that California's new injection protocol wasn't adopted in accordance with the state's Administrative Procedures Act. The order is here. Bob Egelko reports for the SF Chron here. I expect the order would be reversed on appeal if the state appeals, although it might be faster to just go ahead and jump through the admin. hoops.
