How hard can it be for the state to get lethal chemicals? Are vets having trouble getting lethal agents to euthanize animals when necessary?
It is actually difficult.
There has been lots of litigation in every state with a death penalty for at least 20 years.
Many mfr have also refused to sell to states.
Give everyone a blank for the first go round. He deserves a bit of excitement before the end.
Smeared with honey and staked to a fire ant hill.
Getting the fentanyl shouldn’t be a problem.
There is enough fentanyl or heroin in the any of the state’s possession to do any execution.
Whack them with enough to put their lights out.
How hard can it be for the state to get lethal chemicals?
Bizarrely drugs used to execute criminals have to be approved by the FDA for safety and efficacy. Drugs used to euthanize animals have not been approved for use on humans. Also for drugs sold by European drug producers, see above.
Some states have resorted to getting compounding pharmacists to make up a lethal concoction that meets requirements. Death-penalty opponents then try to dox the pharmacists in order to shame them out of preparing the mixtures.
This is why states are turning to alternative ways of executing murderers—firing squad, the gas chamber, hanging, and the electric chair.
Considering his field of study, perhaps he just wanted some hands on experience with how criminal justice works.
..........someone please tell me why a “doomed” inmate is automatically “entitled” to a pain free death?
My best friend died 6 weeks ago. At 80 years old but otherwise in excellent health, he fell and hit his head on a large rock. 10 hours later, and after enduring great pain, he died.
This issue/subject reminds me of Double R’s most famous quote about liberals: “It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.”
We must not forget that whatever the law was when the crime was committed then it cannot be cannot be changed for this crime. There is a constitutional protection for that and it is for the good of all of us. Once you give up that protection then we are all screwed.
a few people have said that, but I do not think it applies here.
we will see eventually if he is found guilty.
Except when they change the rules on statute of limitations and civil suits on “sex” crimes?
At least one state (I forget which one) is experimenting with nitrogen.
No color, taste, smell, or toxicity.
The condemned man quickly and painlessly loses consciousness.
After five minutes, death by hypoxia.
I assume the eye shoots occur after a short 30 min. lunch break.
NO- They convince people that they change to rules for this and that. That does not mean the constitution actually allows them to do that. It is just more of your liberties slipping people.
death penalty is already allowed by law in Idaho.
they are just expanding the options for carrying out that task in response to a different case where an execution had to be delayed.
probably the should expand it more so they can do hangings also
Article I, Section 9, Clause 3:
No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

Plain as day. It leaves no exceptions.
I vote he should be drawn and quartered
sorry, but like I said
that does not apply here because the death penalty is already on the books.
but feel free to have your opinion misguided as it might be.
