An Arizona man convicted of killing a college student in 1978 has become the first person to be executed in the state after a nearly eight-year hiatus in its use of the death penalty.

Clarence Dixon, 66, was put to death by lethal injection at the state prison in Florence for his murder conviction in the killing of 21-year-old Arizona State University student Deana Bowdoin. He is the sixth inmate to be put to death in the United States this year.

Napoleon Beazley killed the father of federal judge J. Michael Luttig in 1994.

They killed Beazley in 8 years.

Quick vengeance is for The People Who Matter.

Should have executed him the next day. Notice a lack of details about the murder itself, a specialty of the criminal loving press.

men and women execute their babies in the millions- wonder why the left isn’t for executions of criminals? You’d think anything with the word execute would cause great elation on the left

Nitrogen Asphyxiation:

strap the condemned down
attach a brain wave monitor
put on a mask
supply 99% pure nitrogen (cheep welding gas) at 1.1 atmospheres
condemned passes out
wait till brain waves go flat

Yes. And luckily his wife lived. A little known, suppressed fact, the reason N. B. did this hit, was to prove to his bro’s that he was black. Members of the hood constantly picked on him cause he had white friends.

Also look up Danielle Simpson from Palestine, TX. He got put down pretty quick for the kidnapping, torture and murder of an elderly white woman. There’s a documentary on YouTube about that one.

21-year-old Deana would have been 64 or 65 years old today.

Only a 14 year delay. It was a 2008 conviction. He was in prison for rape when he was matched by DNA to the old rape/murder he was convicted of. There was other circumstantial evidence, such as he lived very near the victim.

The beauty of nitrogen (or helium) asphyxiation is that it prevents CO2 buildup in the blood. CO2 buildup is what triggers the urge to breathe. So you pass out without feeling suffocated.

However, it isn’t sustainable because the gas is exhausted by the guest of honor and has to be replaced. A Guillotine is reusable and only needs a bit of maintenance after each use (=sustainable).

Ummm, are you aware that in order to create 99% nitrogen, all you have to do is take regular air (78% nitrogen) and remove the oxygen (21%). These products are called nitrogren generators and depending on the volume and pressures needed, they are available for between $3k and $7k. That is why bottled nitrogen is used in welding as a shield gas and is so inexpensive.
