Washington (AFP) - A federal judge has ordered the Arkansas authorities to conduct an autopsy on the body of an executed inmate whose lawyer described his death as "horrifying," including jerking and convulsions during his lethal injection.

Judge Kristine Baker of the US Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas issued the order late Friday, less than 24 hours after the state executed the 38-year-old convicted multiple murderer Kenneth Williams.

He was the last of four inmates put to death in a week -- the first executions by the conservative southern state since 2005.

I think using drugs as a method of execution is inhumane. I personally believe that the method a murderer used on his/her victims is the way the state should render justice.

An Obama judge. A total joke of a judge at that.

No one knows who fired the shot that killed.

Two would know that they didn't fire it.

the most important finding of this examination will be whether the perp is dead or not.

ENOUGH!
Bullet -—> Brain = Brain Dead = Dead.

No autopsy required.

I just had a thought......... Perform the autopsy BEFORE giving them the lethal injection. I guarantee there will be no jerky motions or convulsions no matter what drug they use.

or even sooting wouldn’t bother me

I suspect the courts would determine smothering someone in, or with, soot would be cruel and unusual.

Lawyers are mainly liars, and leftard lawyers working on “social justice” causes are pathological liars. The judge is an idiot to believe this one.

injected with the drugs used in “Physician-Assisted Suicides”. Those drugs aren’t nasty killer drugs. Not at all — those drugs provide a blissful “death with dignity”.

"Be assured, after the autopsy he will be." Unless Arkansas is completely unlike every other state that does executions, an autopsy is REQUIRED.

Why? Because the *manner* of death is technically homicide.

The *cause* will be obvious, so I have zero idea what the judge's pea-sized brain is trying to prove.

Remember, they autopsied Ted Bundy for this reason.

Big surprise, he died of "electrocution".

And if the judge deems he died in agony, he will order them to resuscitate him and do it painlessly....
