Yes...I heard the liver disease excuse...but it NEVER takes as short a period of time as it does for animials (I know they give a cocktail of drugs during the process...but we are using something that doesn't work very fast nonetheless. A barbituate I believe. The exact recipe may differ state to state, I don't know.
A Cyanide capsule takes less than three seconds to kill you. Why don't we use something like that?
(BTW...Cyanide will kill you in 3 seconds even if you didn't have a liver to begin with ...haha..joke there....)
Something makes no sense here.
Lethal injection is the culmination of years of the liberals crying "cruel and unusual punishment" to every form of execution we had. Invaribly, they point to exceptions to the rule such as this as their evidence. One guy's neck doesn't snap when he's hanged and he chokes to death. One guy doesn't die the first time he's zapped in the chair. This guy's liver allegedly wouldn't process the drugs fast enough.
One doesn't get the death sentence in this country for no reason. It's usually a particularly heinous murder, or murder in the commission of another crime that warrants the death penalty. If they suffer a little bit, tough. It is the consequence of their actions.
