       LINCOLN — A morning execution has been set for double-murderer
       Carey Dean Moore, a schedule used in the past to avoid
       demonstrations by rowdy, late-night crowds outside the prison.
       The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services announced
       Friday that the execution of Moore, condemned for killing two
       Omaha cabdrivers in 1979, will occur at 10 a.m. on Aug. 14.
       The execution at the State Penitentiary in Lincoln will be the
       state’s first using lethal injection and the first in the nation
       to use the four-drug protocol recently adopted by state prison
       officials.
       State law allows three witnesses to attend the execution on
       Moore’s behalf and one member of the clergy. Up to three
       witnesses will be allowed to attend on behalf of the victims’
       families.
       Corrections Director Scott Frakes may designate up to six more
       people to witness the execution, including two witnesses who
       must be members of the media.
       A press release from the Corrections Department on Friday said
       that the witnesses had not yet been named and that the time of
       the execution squared with past practices.
       The state’s last execution, in 1997, was carried out in the
       morning. Nebraska prison officials said they switched to a
       midmorning execution for Robert Williams to avoid the raucous,
       party-like atmosphere that surrounded the two previous nighttime
       executions of Harold Lamont Otey in 1994 and John Joubert in
       1996.
       Moore, 60, shot Omaha cabdrivers Maynard Helgeland and Reuel Van
       Ness five days apart in 1979. He was sentenced to death in 1980
       and has served more time than any of Nebraska’s other 11 death
       row inmates.
       The execution warrant says the Corrections Department shall
       carry out the sentence by “administering to appellant, Carey
       Dean Moore, an intravenous injection of substance or substances
       in a quantity sufficient to cause death, as provided by law.”
       Prison officials announced late last year that they had obtained
       four lethal injection drugs to carry out executions, including
       the powerful opioid fentanyl. The state has refused to reveal
       where it obtained the drugs.

       Nebraska carries out lethal injection with 4-drug cocktail--
       Last time Nebraska executed an inmate was in 1997
       Tuesday, August 14, 2018
       Nebraska carried out its first-ever lethal injection Tuesday,
       executing double murderer Carey Dean Moore, said Scott Frakes,
       director of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services.
       The execution, which involved a four-drug cocktail, began at
       10:24 a.m. (11:24 a.m. ET), and Moore was declared dead at 10:47
       a.m., Frakes said.
       "I am required to carry out the order of the court," Frakes said
       in a statement. "This agency has done so with professionalism,
       respect for the process and with dignity for all involved."
       Witnessing the execution were three people and a member of the
       clergy selected by Moore, four journalists and two members of
       the correctional staff, the statement said. One of the victims'
       family members was also present, but the statement did not
       specify which victim.
       Moore's execution is Nebraska's first in 21 years. Moore was
       sentenced to death for the 1979 killings of Omaha taxi drivers
       Maynard Helgeland and Reuel Van Ness Jr.
       The last time Nebraska executed an inmate was in December 1997,
       when Robert Williams was put to death using the electric chair.
       The four-drug cocktail also included the sedative diazepam, also
       known as Valium, and the powerful painkiller fentanyl, which has
       helped fuel the ongoing opioid epidemic in the U.S.,.
       it was the first lethal injection in the United States to
       include fentanyl.
       Gov. Pete Ricketts is a staunch supporter of the death penalty.
       He told The New York Times earlier this month that he views his
       stance on the death penalty as compatible with his Catholic
       faith.
       "While I respect the pope's perspective, capital punishment
       remains the will of the people and the law of the state of
       Nebraska," according to Ricketts' statement to the Times. "It is
       an important tool to protect our corrections officers and public
       safety. The state continues to carry out the sentences ordered
       by the court."
