COLUMBUS, Ohio — The state has obtained hundreds of vials of lethal injection drugs, allowing it to put a condemned child killer to death next month and conduct multiple executions after it, records show.

Inventory logs show Ohio received supplies three times in September and October for the first drug used in the process, a sedative called midazolam.

The records show the state obtained supplies twice in September and October for the second drug used in the process and three times in September for the third drug.

The state has said the drugs it plans to use on the first three executions this year are standard drugs approved by the FDA, though it won’t say where they came from.

Attorneys for death row inmates have raised concerns the state may have to resort to drugs from compounding pharmacies.
