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.
Just use the same drugs Kevorkian used in ‘assisted suicides.’ Liberals didn’t seem to find that inhumane.
Botched? He’s dead, right? That’s the end game of an execution, AP.
Well, he is DEAD. No problem in my books. I don't care if he "suffered" a bit.
Doesn’t sound like a failure to me. But why do we need fancy cocktails? How about a good ol’ fashioned morphine overdose? Send ‘em off with a smile.
He wasn’t concerned about the suffering of his victim.
It wasn’t botched, HE’S DEAD!!!!
The use of drugs for executions is due to the actions of liberals.
Like all liberal “fixes” the cure is worse than the original problem.
It’s so easy to put someone to sleep. It’s done ten thousand times a day. Just put them in an induced coma then stop the heart. They’ll never feel a thing.
That sums it up. It hurts? GOOD!
The guillotine is 100% effective.
I know this is not the Christian view but I am glad he suffered - a few minutes of pain is nothing compared to what his victims and their survivors must endure. There is no humane way to execute people - it’s a barbaric process and to try to humanize it with narcotics and such is just foolish. Personally I think we should go back to firing squad which seems to work well in China.
Too bad they don’t televise these things on pay-per-view or by selling network rights - that would be a good way to raise money for the victims fund.
