Ohio has become the first state to adopt a procedure for lethal injections that uses one drug, a method never before tried on U.S. inmates.
The state filed papers Friday in U.S. District Court saying it has decided to switch from a three-drug cocktail to a single injection of thiopental sodium into a vein. A muscle injection will be available as a backup.
The decision comes two months after an Ohio death row inmate walked away from an unsuccessful execution and subsequent executions were put on hold.
Several states have faced similar challenges, but Ohio is the first to drop the three-drug approach in favor of one dose. The Death Penalty Information Center says it's never been attempted on humans.

Electricity is a nice medium.
Braided hemp is good.
M16 is always a good choice.

Nitrogen Asphyxiation - simply the cleanest, environmentally friendly, painless, no mess, no fuss, means of execution.
Strap on a mask, turn on the Nitrogen at 1.1 atmospheres. Wait until there is no brain wave activity.

A clean tidy method.
I’ve always favored the guillotine. Nobody ever walked away from it.

Vets don’t seem to have this much trouble putting a dog to sleep. Maybe they should hire a vet to execute the sentence?

The majority of ‘Americans’ believe in capital punishment. I don’t care how we dispose of their putrid lives....just do it!
