LUCASVILLE, Ohio — Gov. Ted Strickland ordered a weeklong reprieve for a condemned inmate on Tuesday after the Ohio execution team had problems finding usable veins for the lethal injection process.
Executioners were unable for more than two hours to find veins that would accept fluid from an IV without collapsing for 53-year-old Romell Broom, who was sentenced to die for the rape and slaying of a 14-year-old Tryna Middleton in 1984.

Shoot the perp in the head.
I think there’s a 9mm Glock that can clear up the problem right quick.
Just stab the needle anywhere....sheesh.
Give him a central line and be done with it.
String him up...you can find his NECK can’t you?
Exactly. A .22, a mop, a bucket and a bag.
Please tell me this is from the Onion
1984? Jesus we could have executed him after sentence and given 24 years worth of prison upkeep cash to the victims family.
Its ridiculous.
who said she was concerned that Broom appeared to wince in pain several times.
Is this a joke?
So do they really care if his vein collapses? Isn’t the idea to stop blood from flowing in the b@$t@rd$ vascular system?
You mean, they tried to find a vein, in vain?
Just cut his dick off and shove it in his mouf and let him bleed to death
Aaawwwwoooo. Dang.
yep my thoughts exactly. Apparently it’s preferable to find a vein, but, if they can’t do that, just stick needles somewhere else.
I don’t want to see these guys tortured or anything, but, whatever pain he experienced is nothing compared to the horrific abuse he performed on the girl. Let’s have perspective here.
I’ll donate a round if they post the address to send it to.
Mr. Broom is probably being shown more courtesy than an elderly patiant would receive under Obamacare.
In medieval France they never cancelled an execution cause the guillotine couldn’t find the perp’s head.
Bring back the Guillotine! So effective, simple, easy to reload.
Ya beat me to it.
