Well, DUH!, He did eventually croak, so was this execution really botched?

Medicalized executions are a perversion.
What’s wrong with a firing squad? Death should come from an instrument of death.

Whats wrong with a firing squad? As long as it's televised, with five registered voters chosen at random (like jury duty), nothing at all.

Justice has been served. This is a non-story.

Okay. Well, then, Izzy; just WHAT do YOU suggest instead? Of course, that “suggestion” you made was surely tongue in cheek. Let’s see . . there’s crucifixion . . it WAS good enough for God Himself.

I have to wonder, at this point, will some regulation be passed that you actually will have to have EMS personnel standing by, just in case another “botch” happens...
Will they be required to revive the executionee if they happen to die, before the state wants them to while they are strapped to the gurney???

I worked for a company where several employees died in the 70’s from a leaking nitrogen line. Nitrogen displaced the air and they all died at their stations apparently unaware there was a problem. There’s a suicide kit for sale that includes a plastic bag and a small canister of (Helium, I think.) It promises you’ll feel no pain and no discomfort. (I have to wonder if there’s a phone number on the package for complaints.)
In any case, it sounds like this approach would do away with 90% of the problems with executions.
