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.

Is his lawyer going to get his punishment overturned now?

“He’s dead, Jim.”

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

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.

By definition a botched execution must result in the condemned man surviving.

If he dies then, by definition, the execution was a success.

Oklahoma Botches Execution; Inmate Dies


Great headline. ;-)

BTW, it would make sense if it said, “Oklahoma Botches Execution; Inmate Lives”.

Should it be surprising that an inmate would have a heart attack in these circumstances?

It was not "botched" - he would have been fully unconscious had he not had an extremely painful heart attack at that moment which wrenched him back into consciousness.

Exactly! Botched?

Why is it that I fully expect this was probably more humane than what his victim got.

I don’t know the guy’s story. They don’t execute unless someone was murdered.
