The family he killed.
And he's been implicated in other murders.

A Virginia inmate asked a federal court Wednesday to block the state’s plans to execute him next month with lethal injection drugs from a secret compounding pharmacy, suggesting even a firing squad would be more humane.
Attorneys for Ricky Gray said in a federal complaint that there is a serious risk that Virginia will “chemically torture” the man to death when it uses compounded drugs for his execution scheduled for Jan. 18. Although firing squads aren’t permitted under Virginia law, his attorneys argue even that method would be a more humane alternative. […]
Gray’s attorneys plan to ask Gov. Terry McAuliffe to commute his sentence to life in prison, arguing that jurors did not hear enough evidence about Gray’s history as a sexual abuse victim and resulting drug use before they chose to sentence him to death, The Virginian-Pilot reported this week. …

I agree. Start shooting the rabble.
I agree, give them a choice.
Yes, Gilmore chose the firing squad but like you I don’t know either if Utah still has it.
“Gray claims he doesn’t remember the killings because he was high on PCP.”
Give him PCP and then administer the hot shots. Problemo solvedo.
Shhesh! this country is full of pencil pushing dimwits.
Well, cinve their victims didn’t get a choice, I say this:
Give them a choice. Whichever one they choose, use the other one.
since their victims...
$300 worth of heroin works nicely. Ask any EMT?
So what is the problem with Carbon Monoxide? It’s cheap and apparently painless. The victims just go to sleep. Ditto natural gas.
Agreed, much to be said for that.
Not Big Pharma. Not this time. A compounding pharmacy with obvious connections. IOW, they made it from scratch on the cheap. Can you say K-I-C-K-B-A-C-K ? Sure you can.
Roger that.
Why can vets put down animals humanely without a bunch of pain and suffering, yet we can’t put our dirt bags down...?
99 plus per cent margin. Ain’t America great.
Gray was convicted of killing Bryan and Kathryn Harvey and their 9-year-old and 4-year-old daughters during a home invasion. Bryan was a musician and Kathryn was co-owner of the World of Mirth toy store.
The family he killed.
And he's been implicated in other murders.
For most of this country’s history, hanging by the neck until dead worked just fine. Bring back the gallows, preferably in front of the court house so other can see what happens when you commit murder.
H2S. He’d never know what hit him.
I believe they got some pharmacist to create the drug. No big company wants the liability. And the prison system does not want the liability (nor the PR issues) from using vet drugs.
If the prisoner is deemed to have "excessively suffered", his family's lawyers will be looking to sue everybody, including the pharmacist. The pharmacist's liability insurance does not cover manufacture of execution drugs. The pharmacist also risks harassment from Leftists and BLM (possibly including having his home firebombed) if his identity gets revealed.
Under such circumstances, what would YOU charge, to compensate for the risks?
Thanks for posting that. Now tell me - where did I leave that rope? Oh, there it is, right by this tall tree...
So shoot the cretin.
