A lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City on Tuesday names the governor, prison officials, and the doctor who performed the execution of Clayton Lockett, for the "brutal and barbaric" death of the convicted murderer.
According to the lawsuit, Johnny Zellmer, a family practice physician in McAlester, Oklahoma, performed Locketts bungled execution.
Other defendants in the lawsuit, filed by Locketts brother Gary, include Department of Corrections Director Robert Patton, Oklahoma State Penitentiary Warden Anita Trammell, Gov. Mary Fallin, and three unidentified executioners who were involved in preparing the lethal drugs injected into Lockett.
The lawsuit alleges that Zellmer improperly inserted the intravenous line and the drugs did not flow flow directly into Locketts bloodstream, prolonging his death. The lawsuit also finds fault with Zellmer accepting payment from the state of Oklahoma to perform the execution, and the state itself for using an untested mixture of drugs that had not previously been used for executions in the United States.

Being tied to a post and and left for coyotes after having his entrals exposed would be “brutal and barbaric”.
And then the surviving family should sue them for killing their daughter.

Don’t they remember hanging, electrocutions, firing squads? Who said executions were supposed to be pain-free?
Were their victims given the same courtesy?
Just another example of the “liberal” mindset of making the deranged normal.
