“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.

    Right, they were trying to not die. That is what everybody will do in this scenario. That’s the kind of thing that happens when you murder somebody, the victim is generally opposed to your plan, and so they typically do not do as you wish. An execution that plans to have the victim of it go along with the plan is simply idiotic.

      If execution is the punishment, there really won’t be a perfect way to do it, not without the prisoner’s cooperation.

      Really, this would have been a much better way to go than electrocution, which is traumatizing for everyone involved.

      Keep in mind, this guy survived lethal injection, so maybe he was simply trying to cheat death a second time.
