A man convicted of a series of rapes and murders in Texas had asked authorities to carry out his execution using gas or a firing squad before he was put to death on Wednesday.
Danny Paul Bible, known as the "ice pick killer," died of lethal injection, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said.
The 66-year-old had appealed all the way up to the Supreme Court, arguing that he was "very weak and sick" and that his veins were not capable of sustaining the infusion of lethal injection drugs, making them likely to "blow," a court petition filed by his attorneys stated.
Bible's attorneys said the likelihood of a botched execution was very high due to his declining health, adding that he would suffer serious pain.
A judge for the Southern District of Texas in Houston and the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals had dismissed his appeal before the Supreme Court denied a stay of execution petition on Wednesday, court records show.

Good...
...you piece of sh*t.
Not that there's anything wrong with that ...
I wonder if it hurt worse than a fricking ice pick.
Drama queen killer.
he’ll be wanting ice water soon and won’t get that either
I’m really upset that this rapist and sadistic killer had no control over his own death.
NOT!
——it hurts,” a media witness said.-—
Confirmation? or fake news?
The dead guy is merely trying to get lethal injections undone
“Bible’s attorneys said the likelihood of a botched execution was very high due to his declining health, adding that he would suffer serious pain.”
My heart pumps piss for this turd. We should execute the same we these filth killed their victims. Ice pick in the ear.
Dead and can kill no more.
Said it burned and hurt - good, an example of what he’s in for - all Eternity like that. He wanted to be the victim rather than the murdering coward he was.
Guess he was wrong, worked just fine.
This guy murdered a four month old child, I hope he suffered.
Yeah, but if they had blown out it could have killed him.
An ice pick would have been more appropriate.
He should have been shot, hung,
injected, gassed, and electrocuted,
simultaneously. They all hurt.
That’s the point.
If they used a guillotine or shot him in the head it would be super quick. The people against practical fast execution methods are actually against executions. Lethal injections give them something to quibble about.
Death by Iron Maiden. The device, not the band.
I won’t pick fault with that, but why didn’t they put him on ice?
And notice the satanically inspired media focus on his “pain” and circumstances as opposed to what he did and the viciousness of his evil acts.
They are as evil as he was!
I’m pretty sure the drug knocks you out long before it actually takes affect.
It is my understanding that the witnesses to an execution are viewing the execution behind a plate glass window. Is it otherwise?
