MLB 51 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Execution of Clayton Lockett is horribly botched in Oklahoma Oklahoma had two execution scheduled for today. The first one died of a heart attack after the drugs failed to kill him. The second guy received a 14 day stay because of this. Link to comment
Junior Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 And people wonder why I'm not a fan of the death penalty. Between stories like this and the amount of wrongly convicted people in our jails, it is crazy that we still kill people as a punishment. 1 Link to comment

Ratt Mhule Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Not only that but he made her watch as they dug her own grave. Too much concern over this scum and not enough about the girl who lost her life way too soon. 1 Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hal: Okay, boys, what in the hell happened? Paul Edgecomb: An execution. A successful one. Hal: How in the name of Christ can you call that a success? Paul Edgecomb: Eduard Delacroix is dead. (Insert this guys name) Link to comment

NUance Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Bring back the guillotine. Seriously. And make it a pay per view event. Now THAT would be a deterrent. Link to comment

Too much concern over this scum and not enough about the girl who lost her life way too soon. But we are supposed to be better than he is. We are better than he is. We made sure he didn't have more victims. Please explain how taking the life of convicted scum like this in any way lowers us (society) to this guys level. *hint-it doesn't* 1 Link to comment

Please explain how taking the life of convicted scum like this in any way lowers us (society) to this guys level. *hint-it doesn't* Does that extend to torturing someone to death . . . just because they are convicted scum? Not to mention: what if we kill someone who is innocent? Or do you think that the governmental process is infallible? This guy is dead. It's admittedly hard to muster sympathy for him . . . but his victim is still just as dead today as she was yesterday. And it's fairly difficult to rape and kill innocent people when you're behind bars. 2 Link to comment
Junior Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 "Better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer." Sir William Blackstone http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2615441/Study-finds-one-25-people-imprisoned-death-sentence-likely-innocent.html Science and law have led to the exoneration of hundreds of criminal defendants in recent decades, but big questions remain: How many other innocent defendants are locked up? How many are wrongly executed? About one in 25 people imprisoned under a death sentence is likely innocent, according to a new statistical study appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. And that means it is all but certain that at least several of the 1,320 defendants executed since 1977 were innocent, the study says. From 1973 to 2004, 1.6 percent of those sentenced to death in the U.S. — 138 prisoners — were exonerated and released because of innocence. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 No...this is not how it should be done. Obviously someone screwed up royally and they need to find new employment. No....I don't feel a bit sorry for this worthless piece of crap. Link to comment
