Larry Croft: State executions - Much ado about nothing important
Three states - Ohio, Oklahoma and Arizona - executed prisoners using lethal injections so far this year that the media labelled as "botched executions" because the prisoners gasped, twitched and snorted. It seems the prisoners suffered long and hard. Maybe they suffered (if conscious) and maybe they didn't (if unconscious). Only they knew with certainty and they weren't talking.
My attitude is so what? In each case, the executed got more justice than his victims.
