I don’t see how it is a botched execution if the person convicted and sentenced to death is dead at the end of the execution. a botched execution would be if we discover days later he did not die but is recovering at a hospital after the state attempted to execute him.
.303 British loaded backwards at close range.
They should suffer worse than those they murdered and suffer emotionally worse than each family member of the victim.
And that is not enough.
And yet because of it you have access to eternal life.
It was just a white girl. They bleed a lot. He simply got reparations.
Almost any major caliber loaded backwards will launch a wad out of ones hide. Soft point round nose might do better. A twelve gauge foster slug makes a big nasty hole all the way through.
I’m thinking for a filthy POS like this, use a 12 gauge slug, gut shoot him and let him die slowly without medical attention. Might want to defile him while he dies too.
Gutshot close range with light trap shot.
Take your argument up with Him if you like but don't expect Him to be impressed,
Pray for the end to all death penalty sentencing. Its just not our job.

The system does not even need to be that complicated.
A medical breathing masked hooked up to a bottle of 99% nitrogen (cheep welding gas) and turned on at 1.1 atmospheres and then wait till the brain waves go flat.

“It is for the witnesses because it’s not boring!”

“This is horrible.”
“But it’s not boring!”
Double relevance: It’s also Christmas.
“Botched” you say?????? The degenerate is dead. Mission accomplished.
It’s only “botched” if the condemned lives.
Botched? I quoted no such thing. :-)
I think the same thing. He died in pain?? Bet his victim died in pain and LOTS of distress too.
Willie Green?
It’s the State’s job. And they did it.
