MyFriend You Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 How can this be classed as a " botched ' execution as the guy is dead. Isn't that a successful execution ? As already said how hard is it to kill a person ? What about a large dose of uncut heroin ? Maybe because heroin is Illegal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I propose drowning, it takes a lot longer but the convict suffers in silence, but he is suffering believe me. Thailand used to have public executions back in the Seventies when I was stationed there - Songtel driver repeatedly raped an 11 year old American girl over two week period, then left her to die - The soldiers at the basy were invited to view the justice and it is evident, all the rifles had bullets. When they finished shooting that guy he had holes in every part of his body...........none in the head, thats where Buddha lives, I thought justice was served, because most of the wounds were none lethal - when I asked my driver why they shot him so many times without a head shot - he replied, "No one wanted to kill him, we are all buddhist" - so he eventually bled out, and the best part is - the rapist/murderer felt every single bullet - that is sweet revenge. The US should consider this method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though medical heroin is not likely to be approved for addiction treatment in the United States, Schechter said, the study did find that hydromorphone had similar advantages and is already approved for use in the United States. However, the study did not include enough people in the hydromorphone group, he said, so more research is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomatopo Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Botched Oklahoma execution threatens Americans’ preferred form of capital punishment A botched Oklahoma execution Tuesday in Oklahoma threatens to undermine lethal injection as Americans' most palatable form of capital punishment. Why do Americans have such a strong preference for lethal injection? While executing murderers is an long American tradition, the practice seems to be something people tolerate but don't revel in. Just 15 percent said they would want to watch Timothy McVeigh's execution on television in 2001, according to a CBS News poll at the time. Today, the public prefers capital punishment that is fair, out of sight, and performed as humanely as possible. Lethal injection is seen as the best of a series of bad options. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/04/30/botched-oklahoma-execution-threatens-americans-preferred-form-of-capital-punishment/ I think some states are considering adding, or should I say bringing back, previously used methods of execution like the electric chair.

brewsterbudgen Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Why not bring in amputation for thieves and stoning for adultery; or mass public executions?

lomatopo Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I guess a few states still/currently have alternative forms of execution available to complement lethal injection. Oklahoma appears to still have electrocution and firing squad available, but I'm guessing they might not have a functional electric chair on hand? Oklahoma offers firing squad only if lethal injection and electrocution are found unconstitutional. http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/methods-execution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) I could be wrong, but I understood that this "cocktail" of drugs wasn't to kill. I've read that they give the prisoner sedatives long before they take him to the death chamber. Then once they are ready, they give another drug which renders him unconcious. Only then do they administer the lethal dose. It sounds like maybe they botched the anesthesia in a couple of cases. They first gave him 100mg Midazolam intravenously. Midazolam is a sedative they use for conscious sedation while doing colonoscopies and other medical procedures. The average dose for conscious sedation is 5mg, so he got 20x the usual dose. However, Florida State is using 500mg or 100x the average dose. From experience I can tell you that 5 to 7.5mg and you are in "La La Land". Most people don't remember much about their colonoscopies even if they cut out polyps which can be quite painful. 100mg to 500mg -- you're not around to experience the entertainment. Was the execution painful? I doubt there was anyone home to experience pain -- his body was just reacting to the potassium chloride which was stopping his heart, and his body was none too happy. If they had administered sufficient paralytic prior to the potassium chloride, he wouldn't have vocalized and flopped around. See, what the public wants is The Illustion of a nice, clean, painless execution. If the condemned writhes and groans, it's too -- shocking and unconscionable -- for the witnesses and general public. Hypocrites. Personally, I believe that if the state wants executions, then the executions should be public and swift. And I believe that a family member, friend of the deceased, or duly appointed member of the community should be the one pushing the button or pulling the lever to initiate the execution process. It is about vengeance. You say it isn't? We'll have to agree to disagree. I'd just as soon see the condemned be condemned to a life is solitary confinement.

healthbkkbkk Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Animals much larger than human beings get painlessly killed every day, why it is beyond the technical capabilities of the Americans to do this to (sometimes innocent) human beings is beyond me. I really have the impression that they want to make the process as unpleasant as possible. Probably the guy that thought this up was terrified of needles. Solitary confinement for many years, never touching another human being in all that time... and it doesn't bloody well work as a deterrent, it is about revenge. Exactly! Veterinary surgeons use Nembutal (Pentobarbital) and the result is a peaceful and relatively quick death for the animal. I have never understood the need to administer this cocktail of drugs in prisons during the death penalty. I wonder if you can get hold of Pentobarbital in Thailand; sometimes we need to put down one of our hens and I can't bring myself to dispatch them with a knife. As I'm sure you know, pentobarbital is the gold standard for suicide. I truly hope you are not having any dark thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 How do they get the drugs? Do they send somebody across the border to Mexico to pick them up. They are a controlled substance and I don't think you can take the condemned to the Dr. and say, 'hey, we want a lethal dose for this guy." In spite of what people think, even animals don't always die easily. The last think the body wants to do, down to nearly every single cell, is stay alive.

lomatopo Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) How do they get the drugs? That is the crux of the current issue. Prison officials are using compounding laboratories or pharmacies, and are counting on these facilities to deliver the drugs. Prison official do not care where, or how, the compounding labs source the drugs. and thus it opens the whole process up to illegal importation, or drugs which are not necessarily to spec. There have been a lot of issues with these compounding pharmacies, not related to lethal injection drugs, involving safety or lack thereof, malfeasance, fraud, fatal outbreak of fungal meningitis, unsanitary conditions, etc. In my home state, only four of thirty-seven licensed compounding pharmacies have passed safety and health inspections. My home state abolished capital punishment ~ 1982/1984, but we did have one of the earliest in 1630 (hanging) and of course ~ twenty-six people were executed for practicing witchcraft. We've had so many wrongful murder convictions overturned (coerced confessions, planted evidence, jail-house snitches, coerced witnesses, bad representation, etc.) that attempts to reinstate capital punishment seem doomed to fail. Regarding Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, there was a Boston Globe poll taken in September, 57% of Boston respondents supported a life sentence for Tsarnaev. Thirty-three percent favored the death penalty. I'm honestly not sure how the Feds. might handle a potential execution, were he to be convicted and receive the death penalty? I don't think anyone buys, or floats, the deterrence argument anymore, although that was quite popular for a long time. Now it's strictly about punishment/vengeance/retribution.

lomatopo Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I hope that he was conscious for all 43 minutes and suffering. The challenge with this kind of opinion is that: - the courts may ultimately judge the method as being too cruel and unusual, and thus prohibit it. - public opinion may turn further away from capital punishment if it is perceived as too cruel. So if you are pro-capital punishment maybe best to express faux outrage when things go amiss, rather than appearing to be overly blood-thirsty? If I were on a jury I could never endorse the death penalty. And can you imagine how a jury member, or family member, will feel in twenty years when it is proven that the executed (not in this specific case) was innocent, perhaps because he was framed by the police, and another person got away with the crime? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a capital case, you would probably be eliminated from the jury if you are against the death penalty. If you know someone will likely get the death penalty, you might vote to acquit.
