Divided U.S. Supreme Court upholds Oklahoma lethal injection process Posted: 29 Jun 2015 12:48 PM PDT By Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Monday found that a lethal injection drug used by Oklahoma does not violate the U.S. Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment, a ruling that provoked a caustic debate among the justices about the death penalty in America.
