A condemned man appeared to gasp several times and took an unusually long time to die — more than 20 minutes — in an execution carried out Thursday with a combination of drugs never before tried in the U.S.
McGuire, 53, made loud snorting noises during one of the longest executions since Ohio resumed capital punishment in 1999. Nearly 25 minutes passed between the time the lethal drugs began flowing and McGuire was pronounced dead at 10:53 a.m.
Executions under the old method were typically much shorter and did not cause the kind of sounds McGuire made.
Prison officials gave intravenous doses of two drugs, the sedative midazolam and the painkiller hydromorphone, to put McGuire to death for the 1989 rape and fatal stabbing of a pregnant newlywed, Joy Stewart.
The method was adopted after supplies of a previously used drug, the powerful sedative pentobarbital, dried up because the manufacturer declared it off limits for capital punishment.
The execution is certain to launch a new round of federal lawsuits over Ohio’s injection procedure. The state has five more executions scheduled this year, with the next one Feb. 19.

Money doesn't stink.
Either way works for me.
I have no problem with the condemned having to hang there for a while to contemplate their demise.
If done in public maybe some other poor soul will think twice about doing the same thing.
Do you mean that didn't work for him? That's the reason why the buckshot is better, it gives positive results repeatedly.

The manufacturer should be informed failure to provide this drug for this purpose will have unacceptable consequence.
Firing squads are faster.

make it hemp so the libs get a 'Green Thingy' out of it and tell them it can be reused over and over again-- And if we ever get an honest majority in DC again... 
we may need another one or ten to clean house for good.
This is exacly my thought. And they're more humane I'd add.
Right!
A much more appropriate concern is “how long did this jerk’s victim suffer”. That answer X 10 would be OK for the perp.
Then again it might have been cool for them to stop, wake the perp up and restart again the next day, just to give him time to think about it.
Let’s focus on his crime.
The Silent Killer
“Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that can kill you
quickly. It is called the “silent killer” because
it is colorless, odorless, tasteless and non-
irritating. If the early signs of CO poisoning are
ignored, a person may lose consciousness and
be unable to escape the danger. More people
die from carbon monoxide exposure than any
other kind of poisoning. “
Air tight room. Replace oxygen with inert gas, prisoner goes to sleep permanently. Body parts are reusable, if prisoner wants to donate.
I think this would require too much from prison personell. So many methods are to be administered.
I dunno, a heart which has fibrillated is unlikely to be worthy, IMHO. A brain torn to pieces with buckshot isn't worse: noone donates a brain while other organs are intact.
So what?
Shooting must be used.
25 Minutes? This was 25 years to long to kill the sob.
How long did it take for the woman he murdered to die?
