The satiric look at California’s search for lethal injection drugs for capital punishment on last month’s “The Colbert Report” was made possible by ACLU attorneys who used open government laws to gain access to documents revealing both the wasteful bureaucracy and ironic contradictions inherent in California’s death penalty, as I show in this video.
The clips of Stephen Colbert come from the December 15, 2010, segment of “The Colbert Report” titled “Tiny Triumphs – Lethal Drug Shortage” available online at http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/368731/december-15-2010/tiny-triumphs—lethal-drug-shortage
The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California provided the clips of Staff Attorney Michael Risher, Staff Attorney Linda Lye, and Death Penalty Policy Director Natasha Minsker especially for this video.
