He died. Doesn’t sound botched to me.
Nitrogen Asphyxiation
Strap the condemned down, put on a breathing mask and a brain wave monitor, supply 99% industrial nitrogen (welding gas) at 1.1 atmospheres, the condemned passes out, wait till the brain waves go flat, Ventilate the room, cart the body off.
They should give them a choice. Hanging, firing squad, or lethal dose of drug of their choice, i.e. heroine, cocaine or whatever concoction is provided now. Make the concoction the default choice.
Any form of execution that can take 30-45 minutes or even an hour or more is unacceptable. We need to abolish lethal injection and bring back hanging. Even in a “botched” hanging they are dead inside of ten minutes.
“Barbaric” describes what this animal did to his victim. The execution took long, but I doubt the perp was even aware of time. He was, most likely in la-la land.
Should've taken 4 days to kill this animal.
Who gives a fuK how long this dirtbag took to die. Apparently, the victim wasn't considered
That's perverted.
Use dedicated instruments of death to kill. Rifles. Bullets. A clean quick death.
I had surgery not too long after seeing Dead Man Walking. So confidence inspiring, arms strapped to the arm supports of the operating table, the needle inserted, drugs flowing...
I'm a nurse. If I had to kill a condemned prisoner, I'd a whole lot sooner pick up a rifle than an IV set. Sanctity comes from separation, keeping things apart. Medicine should be dedicated to life. There are weapons enough for death.
Little sympathy here.
As for “c&u” punishment - it was an accident. “Fumbling” is not the same as “deliberate”.
There have been fumbled neck-breakings in the past, I guarantee. Probably not too much whining about “cruel” when they subject obviously was so himself.
Is he dead?
Sooo...not botched, then. Perhaps even a bit more satisfying for the family and friends of the victim. Definitely not botched.
WHat’s to experiment?
It’s not like there aren’t proven methods.
Call Dr. Kevorkian.
Hey, he’s dead, ain’t he?
A cheap bullet, or a reusable rope. Done. No BS.
The results of a suit like this are pretty much a political test of whatever adjudication mechanism it arrives at.
Just want to comment one thing, however. If biblical criteria were exercised in determining whom to put to death, a lot of current executions wouldn’t be happening because there wouldn’t be at least two eyewitnesses (who are also supposed to cast the first stones in a stoning). That’s the scripture... if God made it hard to do unless it was so egregious as to incur two or more witnesses, there has to be a reason for it. It’s more about adhering to holiness than even defending society for its own sake.
And without the mercy of sedatives
Blowtorch. Pliers. Nailgun. Take 2 hours.
I do not understand why we don’t just use nitrogen. I just want the scum dead. Put them in an airtight room and pump it full of nitrogen. The criminal will be dead in less than 15 minutes with no muss or fuss. No drug required, and no gas more letal than wat already comprises 80 percent of the air we breathe every day.
As usual, the goverment makes this all much more difficult than it needs to be.
An evil murderer is dead, which means the execution was neither botched nor fumbled. A better term would “inefficient”, and there is, unfortunately, no ban on inefficient government.
