I don’t see why they can’t just use a massive dose of opiates. Quick and painless.

So? Why would the public care what scumbag lawyers representing murderers prefer?

“Saddam Husseins head popped off when he was executed by hanging.”
That means the slack in the rope was too long.

OK. We can do that for the lawyers. Still do lethal injection for the inmates.

A really GOOD lawyer could even get around the “cruel and unusual” stipulation. Executing the guilty by the same method they used *might* be cruel, but it would not be “unusual” to the perp, since he has used the method himself...
Just rambling here.

I don’t care if it’s painful or not... as little by as it is not pain for the sake of pain. The goal is his death... that it might contain some discomfort for this POS does not concern me.

I read $66K on another thread. Hell, Nosler Partitions and X- bullets are cheap by that standard.

Don’t think they should get a choice.
They should be hanged in the town square of the county seat of the county where the crime was committed.

Vlad Tepes knew how to deal with this problem.

The surest, quickest and likely least painful method would be a guillotine properly executed (pun intended).

Gray was convicted of killing a well-known family of four, including two young girls, in Richmond on New Year's Day in 2006.And we're supposed to care about his comfort level?

Are you Native American? Another old trick would be to wrap him in an old leather sack and leave him out in the sun to dry. Old leather because it take longer to shrink.

" The problem with the guillotine
is that your head does not die instantly
and you can still be conscious for a few seconds
while your head rolls around on the ground.......
Not that there is anything wrong with that...."

A better idea is to still assign the condemned with a given means, with the provision that, if that means is successfully challenged in court, the state will instead use the firing squad as default.
I am all in favor of using the firing squad, because it is inexpensive, requires no technical expertise or special equipment, can be legally carried out by ordinary lawmen, the rifles are pre-aimed, and even obvious chest bleeding can be mitigated with an absorbent vest. It is also very hard to challenge in court as “cruel or unusual”.
