COLUMBUS, Ohio - A prison doctor couldn’t find veins in the arms of an Ohio death row inmate during a pre-execution check-up, the inmate said Friday by video in rare court testimony as he challenges the state’s new, never-tried lethal-injection method.

Condemned child killer Ronald Phillips said the doctor could find only a vein on his right hand following an examination on Oct. 18 at the medical centre at Chillicothe Correctional Institution, south of Columbus.

“I guess the Lord hid my veins from them,” Phillips said.

>> “I guess the Lord hid my veins from them,” Phillips said. Satan has much power here on Earth as well. Just sayin’.

"The Master" wanted him for another job.

Can’t find a vein? Try an aorta.

Inactivity from being in prison can keep veins from surfacing.

Nitrogen Asphyxiation - breathing mask at 1.1 atmospheres of 99% nitrogen gas. Wait till the brainwaves have been flat for 5 min before removing.
********************
Nitrogen Oxide. Very common method of suicide by Dentists; often found in their offices with the masks on. Painless.

My BIL was a dentist. Sometimes, while he was doing stuff to my teeth, I could tell I was about to pass out. I was still concious enough to reach the valve on the mask and let in more air.

Put the damned needle between his eyes, and in deep. That should do it.

Just think of the child he killed and jam it in.

Fuck him and his lawyers.

sometimes the condemned don’t die after the first volley. The commander of the detail had to end it with a single shot.
I think hanging is the best way of dealing with these scum. Its a disgraceful way to go.
