Studies have indicated that in the course of death, after the muscles were paralyzed and the inmate unable to report of any excruciating pain of any kind and the third chemical to cause heart stoppage.
There have been reports of the state using a chemical that results in extreme agony but because the inmate was paralyzed. their was no way to determine if indeed he there were suffering as a result.
The general consensus was that the executed was indeed going thorough terrible agony as a result. But there was no way to prove it, The State themselves do not care to investigate any such report and seemed happy with the process going on now. The European nations that has been supplying the chemicals in which American murderers were being executed had stopped providing the chemical that were currently being used.
So these states in seeking new chemicals in which to execute murderers still can't seem to get the process working the way they should. Which really begs the question, why these executions are being continuously botched and the unofficial answer seems that that murders get off too easy and that a little intense suffering while laying there paralyzed and no way to let anyone kno is still not nearly enough for the rape/murder of a mother and two children.

It’s a gruesome topic, granted, but the headline just makes me shake my head. I would think the inmate would live if the execution was botched.
It was his time to go.
Gary Gilmore doesn’t want to hear it.
” the unofficial answer seems that that murders get off too easy and that a little intense suffering while laying there paralyzed and no way to let anyone kno is still not nearly enough for the rape/murder of a mother and two children.”
Yep
Hanging, shooting, gas, and electrocution are all viable options.
And?
***OKLAHOMA INMATE DIES AFTER EXECUTION IS BOTCHED***
So? It’s like the man who was hanged, but the rope broke and he broke his neck when he hit the ground.
One bullet to the back of the head, right at the brain stem, will do the trick. Quick and cheap.
My mom used to say “all’s well that ends well”.
An injection of Black Leaf 40 would have done the job up right.
Or maybe an injection of lead at 1200fps.
I’m not too concerned about the murderer’s pain, he didn’t care about his victim, but if you’re going to use drugs, why not an opiate overdose?
Begs what question? You did not provide a begged question. Please do.
Just get a damn rope and then you don’t have to worry about European drug companies.
I don’t see problem here. Things all worked out in the end with one worthless human POS dead as he should have been years ago.
If there was a botched execution and the prisoner regained consciousness then IMO they should not face a second try. If I were governor I would commute the sentence to life wo parole in such a case.
I know that there are some evil individuals who truly deserve to die, but I could not sanction a second attempt at execution.
He watched as his victim was buried alive!
His execution doesn’t sound “botched” to me.
A properly-executed hanging works like a snap.
According to prosecutors, on the night of the killing, Lockett, one of his cousins and a friend entered Bobby Bornt’s home in Perry seeking repayment of a $20 debt. The three men bound Bornt and beat him with a shotgun while his 9-month-old son slept in the next room.
Nieman and a friend dropped by to invite Bornt to a party and were subsequently bound with duct tape. Nieman’s friend was beaten and raped by two of the men before the victims were loaded into two pickup trucks and driven to a rural dirt road.
Lockett admitted in the confession that he originally intended to kill the three adults because he feared police would learn he had violated terms of his probation from a previous felony.
After Nieman said she would tell police, he forced her to kneel while Shawn Mathis, a co-defendant, took about 20 minutes to dig a shallow grave. Lockett shot the girl in the shoulder, pushed her into the grave and shot her again in the chest before ordering Mathis to bury her alive.
According to an attorney general’s report on the crime, the three laughed about how tough the woman was as the dirt piled up atop her.
The other two victims reported the attack to police the next morning. Lockett’s cousin led officers to Nieman’s body.
