Well, DUH!, He did eventually croak, so was this execution really botched?

[Olog-hai]

Precisely. It’d have been botched if the criminal were still living.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Same results...dead.

[DannyTN]

The execution was almost a success, as the inmate was recovering.

[PubliusMM]

To quote the great Dr. McCoy... “He’s dead, Jim.”

Justice was delivered by a Higher Authority.And that justice was at least somewhat...if not substantially...more painful and frightening than the justice attempted by the State of Oklahoma.

[kevkrom]

We use humane means for executions not for the criminal’s benefit, but for our own, so that the disposition of justice does not succumb to the idea of blood lust.

If an accident happens that causes the criminal some undue agony, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it, as long as it was truly an accident and not an “accident”, if you get my drift.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Liberals have no problem having babies die after “Botched abortions” yet they have a problem with a cold blooded murderer who buried his victim alive not dying fast enough

[kenmcg]

Poetic justice....this POS didn’t suffer enough. He shot a white female and watched as his buddies buried the victim alive. Too bad he wasn’t drawn and quartered.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They should die by whatever method their victims died.

[shoff]

If at first you don’t succeed...try,,,try,, again Thomas H. Palmer

[libstripper]

Sounds like it was done just they way it ought to have been.

[BitWielder1]

Well, we don't want any unhealthy side effects, do we?
What's wrong with using the same stuff they euthanize animals with?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

"There comes a time in the history of every people when they become so pathologically soft and tender that they actually side with those elements that harm them; i.e. criminals"-A Great Historian 1888

I agree with the above. Today, there is simply too much pity expended on murderous and other violent criminals. All the criminal elements are is miserable little pieces of fate who are getting what they deserve-death!

It is a bad man that feels pity for a man getting what he deserves.

[Bill W was a conservative]

I am in favor of the death penalty, so much so that I think it is in the best interest of protecting it from the predations of the anti-death penalty crowd to promote executions that are guaranteed to have the absolute minimum of drama. I don't want to hand that crowd any ammunition, emotional or otherwise, to promote the eradication of the death penalty.

Years ago I read about a young Russian couple who bought an advertising-via-blimp business. Tragically through their ignorance, one day, while inspecting the interior of the helium-inflated blimp, they passed out from lack of oxygen and died peacefully. Ever since I have thought that that would be a good way to dispatch someone condemned to death.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Was he supposed to survive the execution?

[Cooter]

He did eventually croak, so was this execution really botched?

Technically, what happened did botch the execution of condemned man #2 - also scheduled to die that day.

...a 14-day postponement in the execution of inmate Charles Warner, who had been scheduled to die two hours after Lockett was put to death.

[dfwgator]

"Why don't you just shoot him? I'll go get a gun, it will be fun....BANG...DEAD...DONE!"

[JimRed]

Why don’t they just use a massive heroin overdose? If, that is, they insist upon making the criminal die in comfort!
