8:49 pm

8:52 pm
suffer. consequences but i don't feel like killing him is as not going to bring my daughter back. i just want them to take the offer. so we can try to move on with our life. condemned to problematic hell or has just hours left to live the execution is making national headlines not wire will be put to death by a combination of drugs and never before used in the us for this purpose of this new drug combination was originally designed as a backup for cancer which ohio has used and so now.

this is not an. execution. this. time was. a. convicted killer dennis mcguire spent the final moments of his life gasping for breath as the state of ohio for the 1st time used an untried to drug method of lethal injection he reportedly gas then snorted during the 26 minutes it took the drugs to kill them. it was the longest execution by lethal injection and u.s. history. long time witnesses to executions were stunned the boy was
8:54 pm
kind of a rattling. there was. through his nose a couple times he definitely choking. at this point it is entirely premature to consider this execution protocol to be anything other than a failed. as an experiment by the state of ohio the people of the state of ohio should be appalled and what was done here today in their name. simply not only believe because it's exactly what. i don't know what this means going forward maybe the governor is rightly appalled
