On a radio program this morning, there was a discussion on a “botched” execution. First off, “botched” is in quotes because the guy died in the end so I think it worked pretty damn well.
But anyway, on the program a young woman was interviewed and she said, “I think it is horrible. I mean he had to suffer for several minutes. I am not against capital punishment but they should get it right. They need to experiment more before deciding what drugs to use.”
Well, the prisoner didn’t suffer for several minutes due to the extreme degree of sedation he was under. Any suffering one might imagine was surely less than the suffering he inflicted on others. But, I guess the woman interviewed is right, we need more research in the area. I wonder if she wants to volunteer.
Anybody need some extra cash for Christmas this year?
