Ohio Reviews Lethal Injection Process After Problematic Execution

Friday, May 12, 2006

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A condemned inmate asked prison officials to find another way to execute him as they struggled to administer a lethal injection after an intravenous line failed, prison records show.

"Can you just give me something by mouth to end this?" convicted killer Joseph Clark asked during the 90-minute delay, according to accounts written by members of the execution team and obtained by The Associated Press.

The May 2 execution was plagued with problems from the beginning, when team members struggled for several minutes to find a vein. After inserting a shunt in Clark's arm, the vein collapsed, leading Clark to push himself up and say, "It don't work."

The team then attached a shunt to Clark's other arm but apparently tried to administer the lethal drugs through the first shunt by mistake, the reports said.............http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,195241,00.html

By all means it should be reviewed, we sure don't want the killer to suffer :uhh: .

Why dont they just HANG em? Lot easier, and it only takes ONCE to do it.

Cost of a rope, and a gibbet and thats it.

[DesertFox]

This would be hilarious, but the sheer incompetence it shows is dismaying. I don't give two hoots if the dude hizself was uncomfortable or "suffered."

[Rink]

LOL either a rope and tree or a block of wood and an axe, just killem and be done with it.

If the block and axe was good for Queen Mary of Scots, then it should also be good for this cretin.

The Russkies just used 9 grams of lead in the backa the neck.

Death by beasts.

Make it a 2 fer. Execute the perp while amusing the masses.

Yea but I thought the axe and block of wood would be a lot more cheaper than expending ammo...

[DesertFox]

But then we'd have to defend our decision against the enviros for cutting down an innocent tree to make an axe handle and a blocka wood.

We could always just skin an environmentalist, and make a bone handled axe....

[DesertFox]

True. The skull would serve admirably as a blocka wood.

[Rink]

There ARE Axe handles made out of other things than wood y'kno, no need to worry them eco-freaks bout wooden handles when you can have stronger artificially made handles for axes.

Don't like lethal injection? Hand him a hat with three slips of paper, he draws one:

1. Draw and quarter. (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Draw+and+quarter)
2. Keelhaul (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=keelhaul) with an old, barnacled ship.
3. Impalement. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impalement)

[Wolfcounsel]

Make sure all slips have the number 3, and use the wide stake method.

[DesertFox]

I liked the method in Thunderball, where the guy dropped the floor from beneath the victim, who then plunged into a tankfulla hungry sharks.

Prollem with the method is that you don't feel no pain when a shark takes off your laig.

Good thing about it is the horror of knowing you're gonna end up in the guts of maybe 10-12 different sharks, and all the king's horses and all the king's men can't put you back together again.

All good suggestions, but they'd just make a video game out of it, and we'd have young skulls full of mush out there doing it for fun. At least lethal injection makes a crappy video game.

Coming soon from Maxis Software, makers of Sim City (1 through 9) and Sim Theme Park... The future of Sim games... Sim Death Row! You play the leader of the "Death Cause" himself, Dr. Jack Kevorkian, as he takes on his new role of over seeing death row inmates who have used up the last of their 300 court forced appeals. You must put hard core convicted felons to death, while at the same time, micro-managing the bleeding hearts, blood sucking leeches.. er.. we mean Lawyers, and at the same time, kill the person so that the major bad ass tough guy doesn't feel that "inhumane torturous pain" of the needle poking his arm! Decide how best to spend the millions and millions of dollars "they" claim it costs to bag one of these waste of sperm felons... Should you spend the $29.95 that it actually costs to kill the prick and then use the other $200 million to finance your vacation house in the Hampton's, perhaps set some aside to get that much needed upgrade to your fleet of small personal aircraft... It's all up to YOU to decide!
