So apparently the state botched an execution, and the guy who was to die by lethal injection had a prolonged death (40 minutes I think) due to the use of a new drug. During this time he suffered a seizure and a heart attack. This is being labeled inhumane and causing other executions to be stayed.

While I get that there should be precautions to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen, the guy was convicted of robbery, rape, and burying a girl alive. His crime was deemed bad enough that he was sentenced to death. I have a hard time feeling bad that he potentially had 40 minutes of some sort of suffering.


Is this wrong?

Yep, on an 11 day.

Don't get your car worked on, fly in planes or do anything with big machines on 11 days.

I saw the fact that he suffered for 40 minutes is good.

I'm actually against all forms of non-brutal death sentences.

If I were writing the laws a child molester proven by DNA evidence would get hung in the downtown market right after they emasculated him.
