The seller behind Nebraska's illegal execution drug shipment says Nebraska isn't the only state to have bought drugs from him.
Nebraska announced in May that it had purchased drugs from HarrisPharma, a small distributor in India run by a man named Chris Harris, although Nebraska admitted that the drugs are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Harris has sold execution drugs in the past, but each time the drugs have gone unused after questions were raised over the legality of the drug deal.
This time, an FDA spokesperson indicated in a statement to BuzzFeed News that the agency will seize Nebraska's shipment.
But as part of his sales pitch to Nebraska, Harris tells employees several times that other states are also buying from him, according to 140 pages of emails and invoices obtained by BuzzFeed News.
