The "cocktail" is about as gentle a way of putting some piece of shit down as there has ever been.
It went wrong this time. It needs to be corrected, obviously.
On the other hand, it does not appear to have been done by design.
I remain convinced that there is a justifiable place in any rational criminal justice system for a death penalty. But resort to it SHOULD be rare, in my estimation. And of course, it should be undertaken with a conscious determination to comply with the Constitution (like, no cruel and unusual punishment).
All that said, the fact that the piece of shit convict had HIS particular execution botched doesn't trouble me all that much. I still say that, even if by accident, it was a poetic climax to his worthless life. Fuck him.

It went wrong this time because they aren't using the cocktail that was already approved by the court.
It went wrong because no one will make the drugs that are needed because no one wants to be associated with manufacturing that drug.
And it will continue to go wrong because they apparently bought illegal, backdoor concoctions.
and it's ultimately not about him..... it's about the fact that we don't torture people to death.
but you know that.

I gotta admit that old sparky has a certain romantic appeal. Especially if the lights flicker and bulbs pop.But if availability of the necessary drugs is somehow impeded, we can always go back to Old Sparky.
Some people find that shocking.
Personally, I think the cocktail's proven to be inhumane, and yes it's because drug mfters have been politically influenced not to make the right drugs. Hanging, gas and the electric chair all malfunction regularly, causing inhumane results.
Sick people kill themselves all the time with a bullet to the head or a horde of pain or sleeping pills ... and some alcohol. If you can find people to do it, a firing squad seems relatively painless. Or, as I posted yesterday, a big ass shot of morphine or heroin would do the trick, so to speak.
How about this fact?Same kinds of crimes on them, really? They over dose these killers that cut up, shoot, bludgeon usually innocent people with sedatives. They just drift off to sleep, one guy in TX actually started snoring before he died. So don't tell me we inflict the same crimes on them, just shows your ignorance or your refusal to face facts.
Name one rich guy that was ever given the death penalty?
confession........100% certainty. Dna........100% certainty. Caught on video.......100% certainty. The list goes on.
you are saying that no one has ever confessed to a crime they didn't commit? It happens. Dna is not 100% certain, and neither is video.
We can reach a level of certainty that i think most of us can be comfortable enough with. But 100% certain? That doesn't exist.
ok. 99.99999999%.

An Oklahoma inmate died Tuesday evening of an apparent heart attack after authorities botched the delivery of drugs and stopped his execution.
Another execution scheduled for the same day was postponed.
Convicted murderer Clayton Lockett was sedated and then given the second and third drugs in the protocol, Oklahoma Department of Corrections Director Robert Patton told reporters.
"There was some concern at that time that the drugs were not having the effect, so the doctor observed the line and determined that the line had blown," he said.
When asked what he meant by "blown," Patton said that Lockett's vein had "exploded."
Botched execution in Oklahoma
"I notified the attorney general's office, the governor's office of my intent to stop the execution and requested a stay for 14 days for the second execution scheduled this afternoon," said Patton, referring to the execution of Charles Warner.
Lockett later suffered what appeared to be a heart attack and died, the director said.
Gov. Mary Fallin issued an executive order granting a stay for Warner and ordered an investigation.
Barbaric. I don't necessarily feel bad for the criminal although a recent study said on average 4 percent of death row inmates are innocent. I feel sorry for us as a society. The murder of a human being that has been removed as a threat from society is simply barbaric and unnecessary. I used to be pro death penalty when I was a teenager because I never really put much thought into it.

Now that you bring it up, this killer just died the same death celebrities do all the time.
We got ourselves here a bonafide financial genius, folks!
Apparently he is much smarter than you because he knows it costs more to execute someone than to pay for their lifetime incarceration. Guess that makes you the idiot.
Apparently you didn't get the part of the LAWYER WELFARE that drives the costs up! Put a year time limit on it, even 2 years, and VOILA, there would be no comparison! But I guess that reading isn't one of your bright points!

Did they mention that he kidnapped, raped & shot a girl before ordering her to be buried alive? Yes. He did. No telling how long she was suffocating in that shallow grave for before she died. Poor girl. She was only 19 yrs. old.
I hope it was a painful as possible, that lowlofe piece of shit deserrved every bit of it. I have zero use or tolerance for people like this thug.
