What Irick did to 7-year-old Pauls Dyer was indescribably horrible.
Yes, he was mentally unstable, but not so unstable that he didn't know what he was doing. He confessed it as soon as the police picked him up. He knew he had left physical evidence in and on little Paula's bloody, raped and battered body.
He was on death row for 33 YEARS before his execution.

The road got much wider with Roe v Wade.

An injection of Black Leaf-40 will do the same. Should have been done thirty years ago.

His victim was Paula Dyer. She was only 7 years old when he did heinous acts in 1985. He was sentenced to Death in 1986. Local news reporter, Brittany Tarwater from WVLT-tv news, was an eye witness to the execution itself. She said he didn't appear to suffer. He was asked for any last words. Apparently, he declined. He, then, changed his mind and said he was sorry. Then, he fell asleep. They gave him the 2nd shot and to stop his heart and respiratory system. She said he gave a small gasp (sort of like someone with sleep apnea) and then he died. Sotomayor is wrong. No pain. No suffering. She's an idiot. In TN, if execution by meds is unavailable or outlawed by Feds, we can use the electric chair (we still have one). If not the electric chair, it's legal to have a firing squad. In Irick's case, I would have volunteered to be on the firing squad. The downside in TN is we no longer execute the prisoner after a couple of years. They linger there costing taxpayers MILLIONS for up to 30 or 40 years...some have died of natural causes after that length of time. The libs correctly point out it costs more to warehouse a death row inmate than a regular inmate for life because of the appeals process. They conclude it would make sense to abolish the death penalty. Personally, I conclude we should go back to executions after 1 or 2 years like the old days.

Over thirty years? The murderers of Presidents Garfield and McKinley, and Chicago Anton Cermak were executed within 60 days from being found guilty.
In some cases we need to follow the instructions of Dean Martin in ROUGH NIGHT IN JERICHO.
“Lock him up. We’ll hang him tomorrow right after the trial.”

In 2015 and 2016 I had surgery for Stage II colon cancer and a resulting surgical hernia. Same experience. Anesthesia was fine; all the pain came after the surgery.

The feeling of desperate panic associated with suffocation is triggered by CO
2 buildup in the bloodstream. It is not triggered by lack of oxygen.
That is why I recommend Nitrogen. I have no desire to torture people to death, not even the foulest murderer. A death sentence, IMHO, should be executed in a swift and sure manner, with little possibility for failure, and without damaging the soul of the executioner. Nitrogen asphyxia is perfect.

Midazolam doesnt work on some people, for example me. Still remember being awake at the start of my hernia operation. Docs thought I was out. I wasnt but could not move or speak. Fortunately I also could not feel any pain, just some pressure.
That said, I could not care less if the scumbag suffered horrible pain.

interesting how worried people of pain that might last 3 minutes. death is usually painful and not a good thing. theses monsters usually were not thinking of the pain and suffering they caused when they did there crimes. it does not bother me that they suffer hen they are guilty. I my self don’t like the death penalty for only one reason....I don’t trust government with the death penalty but arguing pain and suffering is not a valid argument when talking about the death penalty.

The Rope isn’t free, but it’s really cheap to buy at Harbor Freight.

What is wrong with a firing squad? Load them up with fentanyl and shoot the bastards.
I don’t understand all this hand wringing over how to execute someone “humanely”. Offing someone is not humane but sometimes necessary.

Barbarism is murdering the innocents; seems Sotomeyer is okay with allowing the killing of babies but cries over the execution of a murderer who “might” suffer unnecessary pain; the murderer becomes the victim according to liberals.

I meant to type cheap, lol.
To make up for my mistake, I’ll donate the rope to the next legal hanging in the US, ;-).

A Bullet is even cheaper but the Murdering SOB didn’t deserve to die so easily.
Quiet reflection while standing on a Trap Door would have been the way to go. Maybe even a few practice pulls of the Lever to increase the intensity of the moment.
They should have put a picture on his Victim on the ceiling of the Death Chamber to remind him of why is was being executed. The last thing he saw before his trip to Hell.

So, after they put you under initially, they could have taken you out and you would never have known right. So, are the prison cocktails designed to cause pain and suffering? I think not.
