Georgia Calls Off Woman's Execution Over 'Cloudy' Drug

Corrections officials have postponed Georgia's first execution of a woman in 70 years, citing problems with the lone drug that would be used for the lethal injection. The only drug used in Georgia executions is pentobarbital. A Georgia Department of Corrections spokeswoman says the drug appeared cloudy, so officials called a pharmacist. Then, out of an "abundance of caution," they decided to postpone the execution of 46-year-old Kelly Renee Gissendaner. They did not give a new date. Last week, her execution was delayed by winter weather.
