“It’s time to stop trying for a “pleasant death.””

The more “humane” and painless they try to make executions the worse they get, in the opinion of those who oppose executions. I can’t imagine it ever being pleasant. For efficiency and humane treatment for those in our society who have proven to be inhumane, we should go back to firing squads and hanging.

burst an artery

Other than the needle prick, that was probably the more humane way to kill him. His rapid blood loss would cause him to lose consciousness. More blood loss would cause his heart to stop -- but he would already be unconscious.

Sorry—wasn’t thinking. I certainly could have look it up myself. Anyway—it’s a terrible story.

A report into the botched execution of Clayton Lockett has revealed new grisly details of the moments leading up to his agonizing death.
According to the document, a doctor tried to insert an intravenous line into his groin in a frantic attempt to save him, but hit and burst an artery instead.

Someone here is a little unclear on the concept. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think so.

The execution is only botched if the sub-human defective unit is still alive.

Why burst a pipe when the pump (heart) is still active? Burst the pump and shut er down fast.

In a just world the monster would have been tortured his last few hours on earth then thrown to a pack of starving dogs....

From LINK:

“Clayton Lockett, the Oklahoma death row inmate who writhed and groaned during his execution Tuesday, a sentence he received for shooting and burying alive the 19-year-old young woman some 15 years ago.”

“Stephanie was beat up, she was shot, she was thrown in a grave when she was still alive,”

Half of the squad aims for the head; the other half for the heart. Fire simultaneously, done in 1500 ms.

Put the “bloody mess” to good use. Put the criminal under and drain all the blood. Then remove all transplantable organs, some skin for grafting, the corneas, whatever is useful. Send what’s left to be buried or cremated.

Isn't there some other shot (short of a bullet) you could give him to put him out of his misery?

Ice pick, up the nose and into the brain.

It was a bloody mess? Well, so was the crime scene where he killed his victim.
