On Friday, California's Office of Administrative Law finally approved the revised lethal injection protocol. Notice and final regs are here.  As expected, an attorney for a murderer immediately filed a lawsuit. Mitchell Sims' suit in Marin County (home of the Big Q) Superior Court "say[s] the state didn't follow the rules while gaining its newfound approval," reports Scott Smith in the Stockton Record. Carol Williams has this story in the LA Times.  Of course, OAL has determined that CDCR did follow the rules.
