A University of Nebraska law professor says Nebraska is proposing a novel approach for its first execution in 20 years.
State officials have released a list of four drugs proposed to kill Jose Sandoval by lethal injection.
Law professor Eric Berger says three of the four drugs have never been used in lethal injections

Berger says three of the four drugs have never been used in lethal injections before. He adds a judge has blocked Nevada from using a similar three-drug protocol

State officials released the four-drug protocol as its proposed method to execute Jose Sandoval, convicted of leading the deadly Norfolk bank robbery of 2002.
