His lawyer suggests this:

the state's three-drug method of execution, saying it creates a risk of gratuitous pain and is unnecessary to carry out the goal of "mere extinguishment of life."

[Anti-Bubba182]

I don't know how they can argue that, the first drug knocks you out.

The idea that this has not been addressed to the satisfaction of some drives me nuts. For most of the condemned their form of death is much better than what they put their victims through. Frankly I am an eye for eye type of gal. Why be compassionate for a perp who wasn't towards their victim?

I guess that does not say much of me then, so as far as the method, who said death had to be painless we have tried to find a method that will execute in a humane manner, end of story.

Frankly give them a choice, death by firing squad, death by hanging, death by electrocution, death by gas or death by lethal injection. Seems to me if we give them that, then we are actually allowing them their choice and how can that be wrong. Yep some lawyer out there will find a way but in the end, this is the law of the land where they committed the crime. In this case he admits to it, there is NO ambiguity and it is now time to carry out his punishment and allow the victims family the ability to move forward.

That is what I call inhumane what the victims families have to go through.

is challenging the state's three-drug method of execution, saying it creates a risk of gratuitous pain and is unnecessary to carry out the goal of "mere extinguishment of life."

I would say give him a choice of how he wants to die or he will be dropped from an airplane at 5,000 feet. Guaranteed no gratuitous pain.

I have always believed in public hanging. If we're going to put people to death, let's not be squeamish about it. In most cases it is an event worthy of celebration, and instructive to the rest of the citizenry as well.

I'm not oppossed to the death penalty - as soon as they start applying it in a non-sexist manner.

It gives me another day to pray, to ask for forgiveness, you know, for what I'm charged with

Not, "for what I did", but "for what I'm charged with".

He should be given an extra jolt of pain just for that.

DATELINE, USA FEBRUARY 1, 7567.

today, the supreme court for the ten thousandth time will rule on whether lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment. thousands of times before, this issue has come up, but the courts need time to review this matter.

you think its sarcasm, but im not sure. just put these monsters out of their misery finally.

"gratuitous pain"????

But not for long...

Last week, Taylor's parents and some supporters spoke out against the death penalty for all inmates. Taylor's mother and father were at the prison, Breit reported.

Too bad their son didn't believe this when he killed the girl. He needs to fry instead of getting an injection.... IMHO.

"It gives me another day to pray, to ask for forgiveness, you know, for what I'm charged with...

Oh, it's just what he is charged with--not what he actually did. Seems like Taylor had a little slip of the tongue.
