I don’t see how it is a botched execution if the person convicted and sentenced to death is dead at the end of the execution. a botched execution would be if we discover days later he did not die but is recovering at a hospital after the state attempted to execute him.

They should suffer worse than those they murdered and suffer emotionally worse than each family member of the victim.

And that is not enough.

Pray for the end to all death penalty sentencing. It’s just not our job.

And yet because of it you have access to eternal life.

It was just a white girl. They bleed a lot. He simply got reparations.

Almost any major caliber loaded backwards will launch a wad out of ones hide. Soft point round nose might do better. A twelve gauge foster slug makes a big nasty hole all the way through.

I’m thinking for a filthy POS like this, use a 12 gauge slug, gut shoot him and let him die slowly without medical attention. Might want to defile him while he dies too.

God says that it is.

Take your argument up with Him if you like but don't expect Him to be impressed,

I much prefer the “5 min. alone with friends and family” method where anything goes and immunity for the survivors. Televised. That would deter a lot of violent crime in America.

The system does not even need to be that complicated.

A medical breathing masked hooked up to a bottle of 99% nitrogen (cheep welding gas) and turned on at 1.1 atmospheres and then wait till the brain waves go flat.

"a bloody mess."

No worse than your everyday abortion. I don't see them halting abortions because of the "bloody mess".

“But Mr Mayor, that doesn’t sound humane!”
“It is for the witnesses because it’s not boring!”

“This is horrible.”
“But it’s not boring!”

Double relevance: It’s also Christmas.

It’s only “botched” if the condemned lives.

I think the same thing. He died in pain?? Bet his victim died in pain and LOTS of distress too.

It’s the State’s job. And they did it.
