The high court granted the stay so it could
consider an appeal by Hill on whether the Department of Corrections’ recent change to the lethal injection procedure – by replacing the three-drug cocktail with one drug – was a decision subject to the state’s Administrative Procedure Act, which requires public hearings before the change is made, according to the release.
Hill was sentenced to death after being convicted of the murder of a fellow prison inmate, by bludgeoning death, while serving a life sentence for the murder of his 18-year-old girlfriend in 1985, Myra Sylvia Wright.
