McALESTER, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma ended a six-year moratorium on executions Thursday, administering the death penalty on a man who convulsed and vomited as he was executed for the 1998 slaying of a prison cafeteria worker.
John Marion Grant, 60, who was strapped to a gurney inside the execution chamber, began convulsing and vomiting after the first drug, the sedative midazolam, was administered. Several minutes later, two members of the execution team wiped the vomit from his face and neck.
He was serving a 130-year prison sentence for several armed robberies when witnesses say he dragged prison cafeteria worker Gay Carter into a mop closet and stabbed her 16 times with a homemade shank. He was sentenced to die in 1999.
“At least now we are starting to get justice for our loved ones,” Carter’s daughter, Pamela Gay Carter, said in a statement. “The death penalty is about protecting any potential future victims. Even after Grant was removed from society, he committed an act of violence that took an innocent life. I pray that justice prevails for all the other victims’ loved ones. My heart and prayers go out to you all.”

I would be for that
Or why not fentanyl ?
A couple milligrams can be fatal.
Inject thirty or forty milligrams, should do it.

Is the OK lethal injection cocktail a combination of Pfizer, Moderna and J&J vaccines?
I find that an oddly appropriate end for the lowlife.
Ted Bundy was fried in Florida's electric chair. Signs outside the prison read "Thank God it's Fry-day!"
I can hardly hold back the tears.
Turn him loose in the yard, and let the guards open up with .17 cal rifles...like a human pin-ball machine.

I think a 308 with 180 grain bullet at 25 meters directly at the perps center of mass should do the trick quickly and efficiently.
I remember that..
Another sign said...Bundy BBQ
Well played sir!
Yes, yes, yes, I know. What I meant was that I wouldn’t care one whit if Bundy suffered at all. I hope he did suffer. I hope this guy the article is about suffered.
These individuals (I can’t call them people) care nothing of the suffering of their innocent victims, nor of the victims’ families.
Let them feel some suffering.
We need fuss, mess, and pain.
I am partial to the gallows. There is something righteous about making a person climb each step and the violence of a quick drop and sudden stop.
They should have pulled his intestines out through his mouth.
Oklahoma executed a murderer. Not quite the sound of Oklahoma kills an inmate. Every prison employee, contract wotkerand less violent inmates are at less risk. Justice is difficult.
Helium asphyxiation makes for much funnier last words.
How about nitrous oxide, then slowly cut the O2.
I’ll buckle up when Ted Bundy does.
In Florida, it’s the law!
