ST. LOUIS — A condemned Missouri inmate faces a potentially “gruesome and painful” execution because of a rare medical condition that compromises the man’s veins and causes multiple tumors in his head and throat, his attorney said Sunday.
Russell Bucklew is scheduled to die by injection Tuesday evening for killing a former girlfriend’s new boyfriend in 1996 in eastern Missouri.
Bucklew, 49, was moments away from execution in May 2014 when the U.S. Supreme Court halted it amid concerns about Bucklew’s medical condition. He suffers from cavernous hemangioma, a rare ailment that causes weakened and malformed blood vessels, as well as blood-filled tumors in his nose and throat.

According to court documents, Bucklew was angry at his girlfriend for leaving him and moving in with Michael Sanders of Cape Girardeau when he tracked her down at Sanders’ home in March 1996. He killed Sanders in front of the woman, her two daughters and Sanders’ two sons and then attacked the woman and drove her to a secluded area and raped her.

Let ‘Worst Cooks in America’ feed him his last meal. No execution will be needed.
Bingo ! Let's see them turn that into "cruel and unusual punishment" or try to cut off the nitrogen supply ...
Carfentanyl.
I do not understand the problem.
Everyday thousands of people are ‘put to sleep’ while surgeons operate and the person feels no pain.
So why aren’t the death row inmates ‘put to sleep’ and while they are in dreamland, inject them with a heart stopping drug?
Put him in a bag. No muss, no fuss.
“The only thing cruel and unusual about the death penalty are the appeals.” — Rush Limbaugh
Calum Whytock was 18 when he drank codeine laced with carfentanil at a house party in April and died within seconds.

I couldn’t agree more.
This murder took place 22 years ago and the murderer continues to waste good air.
Bring back the electric chair!
Tough Titties Bucklew.
Can we get it on Pay-Per-View?
Nitrogen asphyxiation
1 breathing mask, 1 air regulator, one tank if industrial grade 99% nitrogen gas (available from any welding supply shop).
Strap them down, put on the mask, put on a brain wave detector, apply the nitrogen at 1.1 atmospheres. Wait till brain waves are flat for 5 min.
No mess, no fuss, condemned just passes out.
Oklahoma uses nitrogen gas for execution.

Good thing what he did was sweet and polite and not gruesome at all then.
The constitution prohibits cruel & unusual punishment. It does not guarantee a painless execution.
That is a great quote. I wonder which freeper Rush got it from.
Poor guy...he must suffer horribly.But he can look forward to be out of pain (physical pain,at least) very soon.
Among the many protest signs I saw on the news my favorite was "HAVE A SEAT,TED"
I’m okay with it.
Get er done.
