“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    If the person we’re killing struggles then it’s not our fault? Really? Did my sarcasm make you think I actually supported this bullshit?

      I’m saying that in this specific case, if he was holding his breath, then it caused considerably more suffering than it needed to.

      I’m offering an explanation as to why witnesses saw him struggle so much, not saying that one way is better than another… to execute someone is going to be horrible no matter how it happens.
