Williams refused a sedative, said Becnel, one of the witnesses.

Why would he need or be offered a sedative for a painless process?

He died a peaceful death. I don't understand what his fans are so upset about.

For the nerves, I'd guess. I have no issue with his execution, but it's got to be scary as hell to walk into a room where you're going to be killed.

Anybody seen any good source material on his 'redeemed' behavior in prison? I have heard stories which suggest that he terrorized his fellow inmates and that the staff was relieved to be rid of him.

Why would he need...a sedative...

Because anyone facing execution would be extremely nervous. Don't you think so?
