(Salt Lake City, UT) — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit that challenges Utah’s death penalty. The suit, filed by five inmates who were sentenced to death, argued that the state’s Department of Corrections’ methods to carry out executions by lethal injection and firing squad violated the Utah Constitution. A judge ruled Friday that the inmates didn’t successfully argue that the state’s protocols for administering the death penalty result in cruel and unusual punishment, and that the suit was “filed untimely.”
