Oklahoma Plans First Execution Since Troubled Lethal Injection
Thomson/Reuters ^ | Jan. 13, 2015

Posted on 01/13/2015 4:46:34 PM PST by PROCON

Oklahoma this week plans to conduct its first execution since a faulty lethal injection last April led to U.N. criticism and prompted President Barack Obama to seek a re-examination of how capital punishment is implemented in the United States.

The state is set to execute child rapist and murderer Charles Warner on Thursday after spending months revising its protocol for the death chamber to prevent the shortcomings with its last execution.

Lawyers for death row inmates said even with the new protocols, the state's execution process remained deeply flawed. They are seeking a court-ordered halt on grounds the Oklahoma process could violate constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment.

"We will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent the scheduled executions from going forward due to the substantial risk of harm," said Dale Baich, one of the attorneys representing Oklahoma death row inmates.

Glad this animal is going to die, but what ever happened to the firing squad?

It seems a large caliber, high velocity round center chest would end things quick and be very painless.

I suppose it was ruled cruel and unusual punishment.

The only way an execution of someone who raped and murdered a child could be “troubled” is if he lived through it.

We can’t have cruel and unusual punnishment, but nowhere does the constitution guarantee a painless execution.

Actually, I’d think that a properly done hanging, or the old trusty guillotine would be painless as well. I’ve thought public guillotine would be a deterrent as well. Give the little gang-banger wannabe’s something to think about.

The good news is Warner has something extra to worry about. Not only is he going to die but it just might be agonizing.

Couldn’t Oklahoma make it a two-fer, and execute the guy who cut that lady’s head off at the food plant?
