Ohio rapist who claimed drug allergy executed

A serial rapist who strangled a 16-year-old girl in 1988 and who had argued he might be violently allergic to the state's execution drug was put to death Tuesday with no apparent complications.

As the lethal injection began, Darryl Durr clenched his fists, grimaced and held his head up for about 10 seconds before gently putting it down. It wasn't clear if he was in pain or emotionally reacting to the moment.

Durr, 46, was pronounced dead at 10:36 a.m. at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville.

"He was a monster," the victim's mother, Norma Jean Godsey, said after witnessing the execution.

Durr kidnapped 16-year-old Angel Vincent from her home in Elyria on Jan. 31, 1988, while her mother and stepfather were away at a Super Bowl party, prosecutors said. He raped and strangled her with a dog chain and hid her body inside two orange traffic barrels placed end-to-end in a Cleveland park.

I say bring back public hangings.

The death penalty is supposed to be a deterent for crime.

And let's not forget HARD MANUAL labor while you await your execution.

Allergic? Haha. It is intended to kill you — we’re all “allergic”. When death is the intended effect ... how can you tell you’re allergic?

Thanks ... been all over Google, Bing and Dogpile but nothing. There was a Facebook for her but just a few relatives. It appears the girl was white too. I feel that the murdered should be shown rather than the creeps who do murder ...it’s the bleeding heart liberal media types that show the poor condemned ....

If nobody cares about the answer, is it still a mystery?

Purpose of execution: to kill the condemned. Result: mission accomplished. Buh-bye.

I think firing squads are best. They use a group of men, so just one man isn’t in charge. I think it sort of messes up a sole executioner, particularly over time.

Maybe her family prefers her anonymity? She was a minor.

And that was the easy part. Now the judgement.

I hope it was both - terrible physical pain, and overwhelming fear of knowing he was about to meet his Maker.
