Seems like, if they're going to keep putting people to sleep with drugs that way, they ought to find a good veterinarian to do the job. Aside from having my heart completely broken, I've never seen that deal go bad. I'm against the death penalty too, but not because it's cruel. Why put the miscreant out of his misery, and dispatch him into the great cosmic unknown? Life in prison without parole is worse that death in a way; in fact, it is a death penalty. Either way, the fiend in question is never leaving except in a big ziplock baggie. I used to be against the death penalty altogether, until they tried the guy you killed Polly Klaus here in California.

I used to be in favor of the death penalty- hello, Ted Bundy's rampage in Florida?- until I realized how inequitably the sentence is given and how meanly it is carried out. That's not punishment, that's torture.

Just my opinion.

It always amazes me that the prisoner being executed must be in the best of physical health. They don't seem to worry too much about the stress of almost being executed and having to wait another week.

Hope your results were good.
