After the state of Alabama files affidavits from nurses revealing that they are trying to draw blood from Doyle Hamm almost every other week, in what seems like a cruel effort to remind Doyle constantly of his looming torturous death, counsel for Doyle Hamm files a first amended complaint challenging the new forms of punishment as a violation of the Eight Amendment. The evidence of this new form of torture is in the state’s affidavits, which show:
1/ On October 3, 2017, nurse McDonald stuck Doyle Hamm with needles two times. Doc. 12 Ex. F at ¶5.
2/ On October 31, 2017, nurse McDonald stuck Doyle Hamm with needles two times. Doc. 12 Ex. F at ¶6.
3/ On November 7, 2017, nurse McDonald again stuck Doyle Hamm with a needle. Doc. 12 Ex. F at ¶6.
4/ That same day, November 7, 2017, nurse Wood stuck Doyle Hamm with a needle. Doc. 12 Ex. F ¶6; Doc. 12 Ex. G ¶4.
5/ On November 14, 2017, nurse McDonald stuck Doyle Hamm with a needle. Doc. 12 Ex. F at ¶6.
6/ On December 18, 2017, nurse McDonald stuck Doyle Hamm with a needle. Doc. 12 Ex. F at ¶4.
