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.

“Firing squad will work very well.”
Agreed. It’s decisive, painless and, IMO, dignified (while still evoking shame towards the crime/perp). Opponents of the death penalty balk at ANY method.
I love it, Bundy was pure evil.
Speaking of my wife...
Eh, if they want painful... let’s have Missouri use the “Breaking Wheel”.
I like this song during executions:

“Hire the mafia?”
Just have him piss off one of the Clintons. They make the mafia look like rank amateurs.

I can't imagine what goes through the mind of the Supremes but I know what I would do. This is one of the elements that separates a Conservative from the Liberal.
I was just going to say USE A ROPE.
Consider it a cure.
If he hadn’t killed anyone, he wouldn’t be facing execution.
As it is, it’s hard to feel sympathy towards this murderer.
If it hasn’t already been said, this has pay-per-view written all over it.
Cyanide?
How about that nerve gas they used on Kim’s dumb brother?
Hang the lawyer
Such a shame about his medical condition, but I suspect injecting the drugs directly into his heart would work well. No blindfold allowed.
I agree.
How about those four children that he forced to witness the murder, SCOTUS really screwed up 4 years ago in my view
give him a good snort of fentanyl, he wont feel a thing and we have a surplus, hell give it to ALL the inmates, tell them to have at it.
Didn’t seem to stop him from raping his ex and killing her new squeeze.
There are many ways to take care of this other than Lethal Injection. I kind of favor the Chinese method of putting a bullet in the back of his head and then sending his family a bill for the bullet.
