Stop the world and let him off. Hopefully

Happens every night in American cities

[Nervous Tick]

Buh bye, Eddie.

[Mears]

Some good news for a change.

[Maine Mariner]

I remember this case.

[umgud]

His attorneys argued that he should not be executed because the state of Alabama recently began using pentobarbital in executions, which they said might cause him pain and suffering.

The constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. It does not guarantee a painless execution.

[patriot08]

Good riddance to the dirty rotten POS.

What took them so long to execute?

[Cicero]

He should have been executed ten or fifteen years ago.

[deadrock]

Can we torture him first. Please.

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday turned down Powell's plea to stop his execution. His attorneys argued that he should not be executed because the state of Alabama recently began using pentobarbital in executions, which they said might cause him pain and suffering.

The barbituates might cause him pain. Very well, have him sodomized. Then, beat his head hard enough to split open his scalp and fracture his skull. Finally, shoot him five times at close range.

Will this make him happy?

[smokingfrog]

How long has it been since your state executed a vicious criminal?

 

 

 

... well that's too long.

LMAO!! Cry me a freaking river.

UPDATE! Eddie Powell executed

I am thrilled that this animal has finally been put down and the victim's family got the closure and justice it demanded and deserved.

It may cause him pain but it won’t cause him suffering. Suffering takes time. For him the pain (if any) will be over all too quickly.

The putrid individual caused suffering. The article does not mention how much time elapsed while this human excrement beat, raped and murdered a woman who never did him any harm but I would estimate an hour at minimum. His pain will be fleeting and all too minimal.

It is high time that the courts in this land realize that the constitution does not prohibit the death penalty, it does not prohibit discomfort from being imposed on those being executed.

The constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.

Cruel and unusual punishment might mean drawing and quartering, disembowelment or keel hauling but it certainly would never mean a slight burning sensation in the arm of a executed prisoner as drugs are injected in to a vein, especially the vein of a habitual drug user.

[Secret Agent Man]

Pentobarbitol absolutely does NOT cause any pain.

They use this to euthanize animals at shelters or doctors’ offices. They use it precisely because it doesn’t cause pain.

If it did ecofreaks would have burnt down shelters and animal clinics a long time ago.

[Secret Agent Man]

Execution by the state, in every case I can remember, is far less painful than how these murdering scum treated their victims.

If it were equally severe, they would die the exact same way they murdered their victim. It never is, so their deaths are ALWAYS FAR MORE PAINLESS and traumatic than their victims. Far more care is extended to make it as painless as possible.

[Ciexyz]

What suffering her family went through.

[Noob1999]

16 years of waste??

In rural Goliad Texas, the town square hosts the county court house. On one side of the square, there still stands the old oak hanging tree.

The court would make a judgement, the guilty would be taken outside and hanged. Ten minutes max.

No meals, no appeals. You’re guilty, you die.

Life was so much simplier in the late 1800’s!

Awww, poor baby!

[ccmay]

Too bad he can’t be tied to a post and lashed to a bloody pulp by the poor lady’s sons. I don’t think my whip hand would ever tire.

[Barnacle]

He’s been consuming oxygen for 16 years to many.
