The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals agreed Thursday to a six-month stay of execution for a death row inmate while an investigation is conducted into last week's botched lethal injection.

I've read stories on how the prisoners would completely go insane, knowing that they're going to be beheaded. Can you imagine the abject panic, despair that one feels knowing their head is going to be chopped off. And the head continues to scream obscenities for several nano-seconds!
It could be turned into a reality show to pay for prison expenses.
