The humane injection thing isn't working too well.
The country that provided ingredients for the lethal injection said they wont do it anymore
My guess is that it is too easy to fake an injection.
Gotta gas 'em to be sure.
Then a double-tap?
I think the problem is that people who are good at hitting a vein won't do it to kill someone and the result is a lot of painful puncturing which the usual suspects sue the state over. Plus, I never thought this concoction was the most humane way to poison someone and as I recall the inventor finally agreed.
You’re right it isn’t. Certainly wouldn’t be my way to go out.
A good, properly set up hanging is very arguably a more humane execution. And very effective.
Agree so effective they banned them.
Why are special chemicals needed anyway? Couldn't people be injected with high doses of morphine and muscle relaxant?
Yes, but you want to be sure the person dies and you don't end up with some brain-dead person in a coma. I can imagine the screaming over killing a poor disabled prisoner. You would hope your prisoner on death row for 18 years would not have any tolerance for street drugs, but they might. They don't need to be injected either.
It makes no sense but there have been "botched" executions in every method.
