After a five-year moratorium, the state of Oklahoma botched its third consecutive execution on Thursday when convict John Marion Grant died after convulsing and vomiting all over himself following a lethal injection, according to witnesses.
Grant, 60, was convicted of murdering prison guard Gay Carter on Friday the 13th in November of 1998 after he stabbed her 16 times with a shank knife while he was serving sentences for robbery and illegal firearm charges.
Almost immediately after he was injected, Grant experienced two dozen full body convulsions and began vomiting all over himself, according to Associated Press reporter Sean Murphy, who witnessed the execution.

I don’t really care if any male or female prisoner being executed experiences this type of thing while being executed.
As long as they are expired at the end, that’s a successful execution in my book.
I feel for the people who have to clean it up.
I can’t seem to render much sympathy.
Maybe he accidently got the COVID vaccination.
Twenty-two years to get justice?
What a shame that his death was unpleasant.
How did the guard feel as he was knifing her?
He stabbed the female guard 16 times, so maybe he convulsed 16 times before he died. Karma
I don’t know what they used but I would think something like Brevital followed by potassium chloride would deliver a painless death.
Then again, perhaps he was undeserving of a painless death...
Only the US could make a Rube Goldberg out of executing someone. If you want to execute someone quickly and painlessly, you cut their head off. Our medieval forebears figured this out a thousand years ago.
It wasn’t the lethal injection It was the 1st shot
Texas does 20-25 a year of these with no glitches.....i like Texas...
Good
Those being executed had no regard for their victims, no compassion here, an eye for and eye would be my approach
I love happy endings.
Firing squad is much less of an issue.
Yes, it would make me puke too. If I had committed the crimes that he had. Lifes’s hard, death’s harder.
Don’t care.
I’m sure like all death row inmates this murderer found religion and turned his life around after finding Jesus or his GOD.
Unfortunately this piece of excrement murdered a prison guard in a heinous way.
He has been sent to hell where he belongs.
Guillotines are PAINLESS. Just saying.
