Law Alabama used new method to execute prisoner. States forced to seek alternative methods.

19 minutes of gas administration, with his breathing and heart continuing for 14-16 minutes, and twitching and jerking, head movement, hand clenching and 'convulsive activity' are what seem to be being reported. However reporters who have witnessed other nitrogen executions describe suffering, including conscious terror for several minutes, shaking, gasping, and other evidence of distress. The witnesses observed the inmates' bodies 'writhing' under their restraints, 'vigorous convulsing and shaking for four minutes,' heaving, spitting, and a 'conscious struggling for life.'

Hoffman also spent 29 years on death row, and requested a firing squad. I see room for improvement.


The families should sue the companies that refuse to allow their products to be used in executions. The lethal injection method was the most humane way to out some one down
 
Even if you 100% have the right man, and he remains 100% irredeemable and a danger to society as long as he lives, I’ve still heard too many convincing arguments against capital punishment to support it.

But if prisoners are going to be executed regardless, they should do it in a way that preserves the brain for study, to learn more about why people do what they do. The best method to accomplish this would probably be via a guillotine machine that separates the head cleanly from the body.

Regardless of life or death sentence, the longer a prisoner is kept alive to be interviewed, to reflect, to journal, etc., the more we can learn from them about personality, psychology, human nature, mental illness, etc. So in other words, ethics aside, they’d be more useful to us alive than dead, from a practical or scientific perspective.

Just shoot them up with fentanyl for that easy peasy lemon squeezey
 
FFS, go downtown in any big city and you can spend less than $50 and get enough fenty to do the job a few times for someone without a tolerance to it. As humane as it gets.
 
- No living being deserves to suffer for 19 minutes!
I disagree. I am in favor of corporal punishment and capital punishment. If you catch a school shooter that killed 29 children, him only lasting 19 minutes is the tragedy
 
Give them a large dose of fentanyl. It’s not in short demand and it works.
