RAIFORD— A Florida man convicted of shooting a police officer to death during a traffic stop in 1978 is scheduled to be executed Wednesday.
Barring an 11th-hour stay, Manuel Valle, 61, is set to become the first prisoner to die from the state's newly revised mix of lethal drugs. The concoction has been challenged, twice delaying the death sentence.

Give the bastard the last ride! Get it over with!
1978? *sigh*
What will he get for his last meal?...............
This slimeball was 28 yrs old when he killed that cop and he is now 61 yrs old.
How much did keeping this waste of skin alive cost?
Food, housing, medical care and etc. for 33 YEARS.
In another 4 years could he start collecting Social Security?
It’s gotta’ be 4 o’clock somewhere . . . pull the switch!
Alex Baldwin may be deeply upset
1978?!
Not rushing into anything, are they?
I am tired of the push for painless execution. The ban on “Cruel and unusual” does not necessarily exclude all pain. When I rip a Band-Aid off a child’s knee, that will sting for a moment, but it doesn’t violate the Constitution, not even if a prison guard does it. When I spray Bactine on the same knee and it stings, that is also not covered by “cruel and unusual”. So long as there is no intent to inflict excess pain, we can constitutionally use gas, firing squad, rope, electricity, or just about any chemical cocktail. The point is to kill someone richly deserving of that penalty in a manner that is not intended to cause pain too, with the goal of permanently removing a dangerous threat from society. Even without knowing the unknowable details, any responsible person knows that the new drugs are constitutional.
Isn't he living somewhere in Europe . . . after having left the USA years ago? when Bush got re-elected? . . . or is he a loud mouth liar?
I tell ya', when the commercial comes on TV that he's in, I turn to another station immediately. I have no idea what he's selling. I wouldn't buy it anyway.
Believe it or not, last I knew, life imprisonment costs less than capital punishment.
Buh bye.
I see no reason, humanitarian, moral, or otherwise, why the state can’t execute someone unless it is absolutely painless to them.
Gas chamber, electric chair, lethal injection were all attemptes to get a more humanitarian way of killing someone. THERE IS NO HUMANITARIAN WAY OF KILLING SOMEONE.
Bring back hanging and the firing squad. In you actually insist the process must be completely painless, then legalize a large caliber, high power, bullet to the head.
A little messy, perhaps, but the executee won’t mind.

The problem is no one has ever survived a center hit, large caliber, high power round to the head so we have nobody to ask if it hurt.”
On the other hand, I have had thousands of patient’s that have had general anesthesia using the same medications used for execution. Not one has ever come back to my office and complained of cruel or unusual pain as they went under. Or ANY pain at all.
The most reassuring words to hear on the passing of a loved one is that he or she “died in their sleep”
They’ve been farting around with this guy for 33 years. What a joke!
In California, that’s known as “Fast Tracking”....
No kidding.
Absolutely pathetic. 34 years to rid the planet of this piece of crap? This is justice?
