An Oklahoma inmate executed amid a legal challenge over lethal injection began complaining about the effects on his body before the drugs were administered, prompting some to question whether he may have exaggerated his symptoms to help his fellow death row inmates' case.
Charles Warner, who was executed Thursday for the killing of an 11-month-old girl in 1997, said during his last words: 'It feels like acid.' The comment came before any of the lethal drugs were administered and while he was only receiving a saline drip through an intravenous line.

LOL!
Makes a hell of an argument for giving him the paralytic first. There’s humor in that.
He claimed it felt like acid in his veins when they gave him a sedative! His lawyer is an anti-death penalty activist and the guy agreed to continue to perform as he shuffled off the stage because it was his one last chance to pose as the victim of an unfair system.
Imagine - the guy who raped and murdered an infant wants to go down as the victim! This ploy is not catching on. Maybe baby-raper was the wrong sub-category for murderer to select. Live and learn, liberals, a few lines still remain.
Darn, I was hoping he really was tortured.
He killed an 11-month-old child? I am sorry that he was put to death...so quickly.
Take it like a man.

This scumbag was no man.
Hard to break dance when strapped to a gurney!
Succinylcholine drip, nothing else.
Absolutely. Painless, no doctors needed, no exotic drugs needed. Can hardly be called "cruel and unusual," either, since there are occasional industrial accidents involving nitrogen asphyxiation. The victims of those accidents don't even know they're dying.
An accident like that happened to a professional colleague. Just as things started to go black, he realized what was going on, held his breath, and ran out of the room. He survived.
That is so sick! There is no way they could’ve dispatched this creep in a way sick enough possible to equal this crime.
