Excerpt -
ST. LOUIS —A federal judge on Monday halted executions in Missouri until the state makes sweeping changes to ensure that inmates do not suffer excruciating pain when they are put to death.
U.S. District Judge Fernando Gaitan Jr. cited "numerous problems" with the state's lethal injections, including a lack of a written protocol setting drug levels and a dyslexic doctor who is in charge of mixing the three drugs used.

A dyslexic doctor?
Dyslexic doctor? Is this for real??
He won't know what hit him.
Why both with a written protocol if your doctor is dyslexic?
Looking at the writing on some prescriptions, I suspect a lot of Drs. are dyslexic ;-)
Who cares if some thug suffers? They should be executed in the same manner in which they have killed.
I am sure there are some of the Socially Conservative Christians here on FR who oppose the death penalty.
I am not insulting them or their beliefs, mind you.
Another worthless POS on the fed. bench.
Make that "why bother with a written protocol if your Dr. is dyslexic anyway?"
"...ensure that inmates do not suffer excruciating pain..."
Heroin would be just fine, then......they will slowly and painlessly turn blue, after slowly and painlessly attaining unconsciousness.
Do we really have to ask who appointed this buttwipe?

I don't care if any thug suffers. I'm just wondering why a dyslexic doctor would be the reason to stop executions?
Seems pretty silly to me for anyone to wring their hands over the possibility that the execution causes pain....just nonsensical.
Who cares if he's dyslexic and gets the order mixed up, as long as he carries out all the steps???
On a more serious note... The judge's fear that a dyslexic doctor might supervise during the execution is absolutely ludicrous and shows that he has a very, very superficial understanding of dyslexia -- and probably English, too.
just shoot them period, no pain problem solved,except for the POS judge.
Just ask the prisoner after its over if he experience pain.
I'm pretty sure mine uses the ancient magical 'Theban' script.....
Too bad this bozo couldn't intervene when the victims had to suffer pain.
I recommend a .44 right between the eyes. Quick, efficient, cheap, effective, and painless.
Holy crap! A Bush 1 appointee? What is this world coming to.
