Prisoner can be executed without turning off pacemaker, Tennessee high court rules

The usual Death Penalty opponents throwing anything they can at a case, all to try to save a man who killed his girlfriend and the girlfriends two daughters in cold blood.

A lower court had ruled that Byron Black could not be executed while his cardiac implantable electronic device — which acts as a pacemaker and a defibrillator — was on, because it could deliver painful shocks to his heart to try to revive him during a lethal injection. The Thursday ruling overturns that decision and allows Black’s scheduled execution Tuesday to proceed.

As a reminder of what he did, which these articles always gloss over.

On March 28, 1988, while Black was temporarily released due to his work release schedule, he entered Angela's Nashville dwelling at 1101 Wade Avenue, Apartment B, and killed all three inhabitants.[2] Both Angela and Latoya were shot inside the master bedroom, with Angela being shot once in the head while she slept, dying within minutes.[1] Latoya was shot in the neck and chest from about 24 inches, dying in three to ten minutes.[1] Inside the second bedroom, Lakeisha was shot in the chest and the pelvic area.[1] Forensic examination showed that she tried to defend herself before being shot from a distance of six to 12 inches, dying from the gunshot wound to her chest between five and 30 minutes later.[1] The police discovered the dead bodies after Angela's family members made a report out of concern for the victims.[3]

Just turn off the pacemaker

Just turn off the pacemaker

The lawyers trying to stop him from being executed would fight that as well.

 

[Moonglow]

Crush him with a heavy weight.

 

[Polishprince]

Just hang the fellow if lethal injection is a problem or burn his sorry ass at the stake

 

[Mac-7]

I see no reason why the man should not be executed

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Put him a chamber and replace the oxygen with hydrogen and nitrogen.

No pain, just a minute wait then massive confusion followed by failure of breathing.

No one having it done has complained of pain.

Try a firing squad with .30-06 Garands. It was good enough for Nazis.

Here's a crazy idea---- why worry about how you execute some guy with a pacemaker? Just turn the pacemaker off.

Now, no need to inject him and no worries about painful shocks.

I don't like the death penalty, because it emboldens the far right's disdain for life, but I do believe it is appropriate at times, and this is one of those times.

It's difficult situation.....but at the end of the day or night...what difference does it make?

The end results will be the same

Why not just shoot him with a cannon at point blank range, it was good enough for the British?

Too messy.

Shoot him up with 1000 units of insulin. Problem solved.
