In the wake of an execution that left a prisoner dying of a painful heart attack, Oklahoma is delaying lethal injection for another man so that the matter can be fully investigated. Oklahoma's attorney general today said that he'd put off the execution of convicted murderer and rapist Charles Warner so that the state can finish looking into what led to the botched execution of prisoner Clayton Lockett, The New York Times reports. The mix of drugs Lockett was given last week left him awake during the second and third rounds of chemicals designed to stop breathing and then the heart, something the White House called inhumane.
EXECUTIONS ARE UNDER CLOSER SCRUTINY THAN EVER
Last week's accident became just the latest in a series of events that have rekindled discussion about executions and the death penalty in the US. Scheduled executions in Texas were thrown off course last month after prisoners expressed concerns about the generic version of an execution drug the state was using. The tactic worked briefly, though was later overturned by a federal appeals court. A separate execution in Ohio this past January drew attention for its use of a combination of drugs that had never been used for that purpose in the US.
Oklahoma began enacting its death penalty law in 1977, first using the electric chair and later lethal injection. According to the state, it's executed 190 men and 3 women so far, with most of those using injection method.

How long does it take to build a gallows? How long would it take the State of Oklahoma to enlist a group of men proficient in the use of rifles to expedite an execution? Why is injecting three different chemicals into a convicted murderer any more effective, or socially enlightening than other methods?
Death by bullet seems to be as an effective, pain-mitigated way to die as does executing by injection. Death by bullet has the the murderer dispatched in seconds maybe less.

Apropos of nothing, remember years ago, when John Junior Kennedy decided to instrument fly into bad weather carrying his coke-addled wife and her sister, crashed into the ocean, and various gov’t bodies spend millions looking for their remains — which, when found, were BURIED AT SEA?
Bring back the guillotine.
Thanks lbryce.
The libs told us that starvation is painless and even euphoric. Problem solved!
Practice makes perfect — try it again and see if it works this time.
Why all this concern for a convicted killer when he did not show any for his victim?
