Why did they replace the earlier drug combo? Seems to me it would be appropriate for the perp to feel his body burning as a preview to what hell will be like.

I still resent use of the term "botched" - the perp died, so all ended well. Except for the innocent victims and their families.

I don’t have much sympathy for the man for what he did. As for his “pain” it sounds like the pain of a heart attack. I reacted the same way. The only exception is it was clear I was calling on Jesus.

it wasn’t botched, the inmate died.

let’s just say it had some unexpected twists and turns that didn’t change anything, in the end.

to quote hillary - in the end, what difference does it make!?!

Lead poisoning is cheap and effective every time. And when applied twice daily to the head, painless as can be.

Good. I hope he went screaming.

I feel bad for him, kinda.

I’m sure, were the perp able to today, he would say: “Yeah, I got less than I deserved. It’s all good.”

Let us not forget the words of Jesse Walter Bishop (March 1, 1933 – October 22, 1979) (Executed in the Nevada gas chamber)

“Terming the death penalty ‘’an occupational hazard’’ in his line of work, Bishop refused to authorize an appeal of his case even when given the chance to do so minutes before entering the gas chamber. Said he: ‘’This is just one more step down the road of life that I’ve been heading all my life. Let’s go.’’

Why did they replace the earlier drug combo?

“Two commonly used sedatives in lethal injections in the United States, sodium thiopental and pentobarbital, became hard to get for corrections departments in recent years when manufacturers took steps to ensure their products would not be used in capital punishment.”

[Reddy]

Didn’t it come out that Wilson had been coached to act like he was suffering during the execution so that his family could sue to get money from the state? I think that’s probably what just happened with the Oklahoma execution.

[vetvetdoug]

If someone had just given him a dose of succinylcholine in his muscle he would not have put on a show and the dumbass reporters would have thought the execution was as smooth as silk. Its a show to make it look presentable anyway so why not do it? A bullet is quicker, cheaper and faster but doesn't look real good.

“I feel my whole body burning.”

No problem. He was just feeling the early effects of entering his eternal abode...

‘Twere up to me, I’d revive them at the last possible instant, then do it all over again; once for each capital crime they were convicted of committing.
