Botched Execution - Death penalty takes 20 mins to work, inmate suffers

the death penalty is again being scrutinized closely Louis because i've a condemned Ohio inmate who appeared to gasp several times and took more than 15 minutes to die as he was executed with yet another new combination of drugs never before tried for lethal injection in the United States it is martin luther king day we are here in studio it is a new show not a rerun unless it is not January 20th 2013 2014 today and then this is a rerun show but at least today Lewis it is a new show and that we can be very thankful for death row inmate Dennis McGuire made a number I love loud snorting or snoring sounds during one of the longest execution since Ohio resumed capital punishment back in 1999 in attempting to halt his execution with the new method his attorneys argued that he was at substantial risk agony and terror was straining to catch his breath as he experienced a medical phenomenon known as air under officials used intravenous doses a to drugs the sedative made as a lamb and the painkiller hydromorphone to put him to death for the 1989 *** and fatal stabbing a pregnant woman joy Stewart the reason why every time seemingly there is a new combination up drugs being used is that increasingly the manufacturers above the drugs some Americans some European say new nano we're not even going to allow our drug into the united states for any reason if you use it to put people up to put people down essentially but for lack of a better term so every time Lewis new combinations are used and most of the time the drug manufacturers say stop using are drugs that way this is hopefully yet another indication that we need to get rid of this barbaric practice yeah I i think we do I am I mean this crime was particularly heinous I am and I can say akio bad for the guy but I could easily see this happening to someone who committed no crime and it has happened and separate from that Lewis we have to look it does this violate the constitutional prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment right i mean i on one hand I think it does there's always this question when we talk about the death penalty have if that was your three-year-old daughter that was *** and murdered by this guy wouldn't you want to see him suffer in this way however I feel like that's an irrelevant question because what an individual may want does not change what the law is and what the Constitution isn't shocking that we seem to be ignoring the constitutional prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment and further than that why is it Lewis the United States is the one country and our level of development that can't seem to just provide everybody with health care and we're also one out liar in terms of doing this to our prisoners is something that also is done less and less in at the equally developed world I just don't understand I don't really understand it here with regard to you the Constitution it seems like every form a bomb have execution we've ever used has been pretty cruel or unusual I mean honestly I think the guillotine which is probably the probably the best bet compared to what we've been doing compared to this 20-minute execution you're probably actually write that that would be both more humane and less cruel and we're going to keep following it and see what happens more and more states are outlawing are doing away with capital punishment
