Medical Official Says Inmate's Execution Took Longer Because Needles Missed Veins

Florida should of just hanged him.

How about "cruel and unusual punishment for a cruel and unusual crime" such as murder. Convicted killers SHOULD suffer a CRUEL death for their CRUEL crime. Lethal injection is going easy on them. Feed them to lions on pay per view and give the proceeds to the victim's family.

gunnerv1 remember this was in Florida, they had to wait, 'cause they had to buy new easy to use voting machines --- or perhaps they execute like they vote? Hanging chad, oops wrong term "injected Angel"

TO ALL LIBERALS WHO ARE UPSET over the execution of this murderer ....... I KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.

Don't consider this an execution; instead, just "visualize" that this murderer was a baby, and the only thing Florida did was perform a late-term abortion.

That should ease liberal conciousness's

To antoniorego,

I'm guessing since they made it a point to say that it was a "topless bar manager" that was killed, the victim would be a female, not male. Other than that, I agree whole heartedly with your statement. I just wish they didn't waste 27 years to do it, but then again, we%u2019re talking about the Bush clan, aren't we?

I agree with the death penalty, but I do feel sorry for the family of the inmate. There is no comfortable way to loose a loved one. The only thing that really matters is weather this person was saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. Sin has consequence. Murder (one of many sins) also has consequence. Romans 5:8 says "But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." While it may be easy for us to pass judgment, let us remember what God has commanded us. 1 John 3:23 "And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us." 2 Corinthians 6:2 "Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation." If you were to die today, where would you spend eternity? Know Jesus, know life. No Jesus, no life.

The results and decisions of his trial from long ago have finally come to pass. Ahhh, too bad the dirtbag died. But, I do believe that he had his chance in court. He has paid the ultimate price for his heinous crime. I don't think the family feels any better though, it will never bring their loved one back! I feel sorry for the victims family - - hopefully they're not consumed with hatred and anger, otherwise they'll never live in peace.

How about this- when you are convicted and sentenced to die for your crime we give you a list of ways to meet your end. The list would contain five methods, electrocution, lethal injection, firing squad, gas chamber or death by drowning. You mark them in the order of your preference and we then eliminate your first and last choices. We then pick by random drawing from the three remaining and this is how you die. You would, of course, have an appeal; if you lose the appeal you are carried directly to your execution, no further delays. Then when the family wanted to get upset about how you died, or how long it took or anything else we could say "It was one of his choices, just like he chose to commit the crime." Maybe eventually the criminals would get the message, WE DON'T CARE IF YOU SUFFER.

Why did it take 27 years to get rid of this scumbag. Lets see, at about $20,000.00 a year to feed, watch and make sure that he had a fair trial, that comes up to about $540,000.00 of your tax money, money that could have been spent on schools, medical facs. roads ect.

Everyone who kills knows there is a good chance they will face justice, but they kill anyway. Most connection and family-minded people believe the answer is in intervention before the conditions present an offer to do harm and violence. How do you teach the value of life to people without parents? Without attending school? Without a home? Without a sanctuary to sleep? Without a functional family? Without adequate access to mental health facilities? Without adequate access to healthcare? Our society condemns people far before they commit their inevitable crime. Many are too interested in pointing out differences with people instead of similarities, in the name of righteousness to judge and condemn. We wont understand forgiveness and justice until we all know and beleive we are the same and share a common destiny. It wasn't raining when Noah was building the ark. Does society have to be decaying before we help our brother?
