Ohio Executes Killer Dennis McGuire

A convicted killer took 26 minutes to die during an execution in which he gasped repeatedly - the longest execution in Ohio since the state resumed capital punishment 15 years ago, records show.

They used an untested cocktail of lethal drugs and the execution took a while; McGuire's family plans to sue.

Makes me think of this opinion piece by a Slate intern: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2013/11/guillotine_death_penalty_lethal_injection_is_cruel_and_unusual_punishment.html.

The author disagrees with capital punishment. He's arguing to bring the guillotine back. It's faster and doesn't cause the pain that the drugs cause.

I don't agree with capital punishment. But I do have to wonder how long his victim suffered. I bet her family would have liked to see him suffer longer.

So? If the family wanted revenge, they should have killed the guy themselves, in the manner they felt appropriate. I don't believe in state sponsored murder, but I would understand the victim being revenged.

The guillotine was invented as a faster more humane way to execute people... Hmmm. How about a bullet to the head like in China? Heard they bill the family of the person who got executed for the cost of the bullet.

It's hard to have much sympathy for this guy. Raped and stabbed to death a pregnant woman. Maybe he should have been sentenced to the same, raped first than stabbed. Not pregnant however so maybe a prolonged painful stabbings and being terrorized...

Crucifixion is cool. Cheap, too.

He should die a slow death pay back.

The German manufacturer of Propofol would not allow it to be used for execution. They threatened to stop all sales to the US if it was used in executions. So these bozos had to cook up something else. What they did was stupid, in two ways. First, thou shalt not kill. Second, don't experiment like that in public.

The daughter feels bad about the rapist and murderer father?

She is a conniving woman who wants to sue. I hope Joy's family sues the rapists family for restitution.
