Second execution of the year set for October, death penalty commissioner reacts

The Arizona Supreme Court has issued a warrant of execution for convicted killer Richard Djerf. He's set to be executed by lethal injection in October after killing a Phoenix family in 1993. Following a review of death penalty procedures, former federal judge David Duncan found there are transparency issues with drug procurement and unqualified staff carrying out lethal injection. 

There were not major issues reported when the state resumed executions in March.
