The family of two people murdered by a man sentenced to the death penalty by lethal injection showed no remorse when his execution dragged on for nearly two hours.
Jeanne Brown watched from the gallery at the Arizona State Prison Complex as Joseph Rudolph Wood, who shot her sister and father dead in 1989, died on Wednesday. She angrily brushed off his attorneys' complaints that Wood suffered during the execution.
"You don't know what excruciating is," Brown told the media after Wood was pronounced dead. "Excruciating is seeing your dad lying there in a pool of blood, seeing your sister lying there in a pool of blood. That's excruciating. This man deserved it."

I have the perfect solution to these supposed “Botched executions” its simple..firing squad..its simple, effective, and works every time..no fuss, no muss
Agreed. He's dead.
For not begging that the killer's life be spared. /liberalthink
The family of the victim is supposed to show “sympathy”? Maybe they should apologize to the murderer while we are at it?
Who writes these headlines?
Cry me a river, GMA dickheadas!
Leftists make no moral distinction between a murderer and his victims.
If I were in charge of executing that guy, it would’ve been the dry-sponge electrocution in The Green Mile.
Which means that they can then murder other inmates and prison staff with impunity, as nothing worse can be done to them.
The only legitimate interpretation of the constitution is original intent. During the founders time hanging was the death penalty norm. Maybe we should return to that method.
BTW I was a watching a movie about a guy named starkweather who went on a killing spree in 1958. The time from his arrest to his execution was just 17 months.
I’m a fan of the hemp fandango, but that works too.
BUMP!
The family of two people ... showed no remorse
***
Odd choice of words. What did the victim’s family do for which they should be remorseful? They didn’t commit murder and they did not conduct the execution. Here’s a definition: Remorse is an emotional expression of personal regret felt by a person after they have committed an act which they deem to be shameful, hurtful, or violent.
You can doubt.
Morality is not a value the Left/Democrat-Socialists hold in high regard. Things like skin color, global warming, victims’ rights ... these are the values the Left holds dear. The Left considers such things as honor, integrity, personal responsibility, morality and other Judeo-Christian values “archaic” and which have no place in their Utopian society.
Kill them all and let the Lord sort them out. He will know his own?
How can one be 'remorseful' when no act was committed from which one should/would feel remorse?
stupid media protecting the perp, violating the victims.
And champagne.....
I support the death penalty and believe this man paid the rightful price for his crimes. That said, to refer to his “daddy the devil” is over-the-top rhetoric. You can’t possibly know if he was a lost man or not. In his final words he gave thanks to Jesus Christ his savior. Now I do not presume every man who claims to be a Christian has actually been born-again, but since I didn’t know this man I won’t presume he wasn’t. Only The Lord knows for sure. Many of the most beloved men of Scripture were murderers. Moses killed an Egyptian. And because of his adultery, King David was responsible for the death of Uriah yet he was called “a man after God’s own heart.” The Apostle Paul was responsible for murders of the early Christians.
God’s grace can overcome and change the most heinous sinner. His blood can make the vile sinner clean, including men on death row. Were it not for Christ’s atoning death on the cross, every single sinning son of Adam would be on eternity’s death row right now.
