Fine then! Replace the pancuronium bromide with Drano.

"My execution by lethal injection is imminent..."

Then STFU and take your medicine like a man!

I guess anything faster than dying of old age is unacceptable to these people.

He's a wuss. But aren't most of these "tough guys" when crunch time arrives? I'll bet the girl he raped and murdered had "grave concerns" about what he was doing.

If the problem is with lethal injection, why did he choose it? He could have opted for the gas chamber. I believe they get a choice.

He fears that pancuronium bromide, the second of three drugs administered in executions by California and 26 other states - yet banned by the American Veterinary Medical Association in euthanizing animals - will leave him conscious of torturous pain but paralyzed and unable to cry out.

Bummer.

Can't do the time, don't do the crime.

I wish the whole 'cruel and unusual punishment' argument could be thrown out. The more cruel and unusual, the more of a deterrent it would be. Did this scum grant his victim the same, doubt it.

Okey dokey, then how about an eye for an eye. Let him die just like his victim did.

"Appeals seek to alter death penalty"

Perhaps they'd settle for a "serious injury" penalty.

I offer to behead him. Death is instaneous and he can't even feel it. Where does the murderer of a little get off saying being put to sleep is too cruel for him? I think of how that poor, dear child suffered. His suffering pales in comparison to hers. Time to reach for the needle and get a Final Exit for this scumbag.

Published Wednesday, Jan 11, 2006

A chieving justice has been agonizingly slow for the family of Terri Lynn Winchell. Stockton's Michael Angelo Morales has been in life-or-death limbo for too long.


If full punishment is delayed for 25 years after a crime is committed and 23 years after a jury has delivered its verdict, it's time to revisit jurisprudence in America.

On the night of Jan. 8, 1981, Winchell, a Tokay High School senior, was brutally murdered, and her body was dumped in a vineyard off Peltier Road, north of Lodi.

Five days later, 1,000 people attended her funeral.

Two men were arrested. Ricky Ortega, who cooperated with the police, is spending the rest of his life in prison for setting up the slaying.

Morales, who actually carried out the cruel homicide, was sentenced to death April 25, 1983, by a Ventura County jury that convicted him of rape, conspiracy and murder with the special circumstances of torture and lying in wait.

Since then, Morales' case has been moving from the state Supreme Court to various appellate courts. It's been sent to the U.S. Supreme Court twice.

Now 45, he's on death row at San Quentin State Prison.

Finally, Morales been given a Feb. 21 execution date.

Whether you support the death penalty or not, a quarter-century is simply too long for a case such as this to be resolved.

It hasn't been fair to Morales or to Winchell's shattered family.

Convicted killers can be allowed fairness and every judicial consideration without it taking his long.

Where's the justice? Where's the closure? If the death penalty is a deterrent, it needs to loom more ominously over those who would commit such brutal and senseless crimes. Retribution needs to be administered before we forget why it's deserved.

Otherwise, we might as well forget the death penalty.

More stalling tactics. Haven't the medical properties of the "Kevorkian Cocktail" been pretty well documented by now? How many times do courts have to rule that lethal injection is NOT "cruel and unusual"?

Well, they could do like the Filipinos and use a gradually tightened garotte around the neck of the condemned, restrained in a chair.
