WILMINGTON, DELEWARE (BNO NEWS) – Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden on Monday announced that the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that Delaware’s execution method of lethal injection is constitutional.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled in a class action case of Jackson v. Danberg that Delaware’s execution method of lethal injection is constitutional and the Court lifted the stay on executions statewide.

Biden stated that, “As a result of this ruling, executions in Delaware will move forward, and the Superior Court can now begin to schedule executions as appropriate.”

Beau Biden is the son of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. Biden was expected to announce his decision to run for the open Senate seat in Delaware in January, but later in the month confirmed that he would not be running.
