Sheesh.

Just bring back the guillotine. It's 100% effective, quick and painless; the very definition of quick, humane execution.

Sit him on his namesake, after sharpening it, of course.

They put the families of the victims through hell with these stays and delays.

lethal injection [may be] unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment.

How many times are courts going to have to rule on this? Practically every state that has the death penalty has entertained half a dozen of these idiotic, obstructionist lawsuits. There's no new matter of law to rule on; it's stare decisis. Nuke this slob, and his 14 colleages as well!

Romell Broom, who raped and stabbed to death a 14-year-old girl, is one of 15 Ohio inmates claiming the procedure may cause prisoners to suffer.

Of COURSE it's going to make them suffer. Nothing in the Constitution prohibits "suffering." The injunction is against "cruel and unusual punishment." Period. Punishment, by its very nature, is cruel to some degree; that's why they don't call it "reward." But there's nothing notably cruel or unusual about lethal injection. It's by far the most humane way extant to put a person to death.

Unbelievable...

She only enjoyed 14 years of life and he took the rest of it away from her. He’s been alive another 23 years since killing her.

Unbelievable that people consider this justice.

I don’t think the mods would allow me to post what kind of execution would be appropriate.

Broom, 51, abducted Tryna Middleton in Cleveland at knifepoint on Sept. 21, 1984, while the girl was walking with friends. He raped her and stabbed her seven times, according to the attorney general's office.

Who cares if his injection might hurt a few minutes. I would say this poor child suffered much pain...IMHO so should Broom. I like the idea of hanging him. Hang him in the yard so all the inmates can see it. Put it on TV so everyone can see it too.

I vote that all murderers be put to death in the exact same manner that they executed thier victims.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. If it’s good for them, it’s good for the government.

Such sweethearts... I think its time we began giving liberal judges lethal executions alongside the sociopaths they protect.
