Man sues over botched execution:


Man sues over botched execution:

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/doyle-lee-hamm-botched-execution-114020302.html

[If this isn't cruel and unusual punishment I don't know what is? What harm could there be in commuting his sentence to life in prison without parole? Should they try and execute this man again? What do you think?]

"Hamm’s history of drug use and lymphatic cancer—for which he underwent chemotherapy while imprisoned to keep him alive until he could be killed—meant many veins were unsuitable for the lethal injection IV."

I don't know what to say about this one!

Re: Man sues over botched execution:


That's an inaccurate and deliberately fallacious statement. States are required to provide adequate and appropriate medical care to prison inmates. That includes chemotherapy for cancer patients, whether or not they are death-row inmates.

Alabama uses midazolam, which hasn't been banned.

Re: Man sues over botched execution:


midazolam is a sedative although it is used as a part of the lethal cocktail it isnt the part that kills you.

Its function is to render the victim insensible to the pain caused by the other drugs in the cocktail (variously hydromorphone or vecuronium bromide and potassium chloride depending on state)

Doubts have been raised about the efficacy of midazolam in this application initially after Clayton Lockett woke up and started talking midway through his execution when he should have been deeply unconscious.

there were also problems with the execution of Ronald Bert Smith and Dennis McGuire (at least) in which midazolam was used

Re: Man sues over botched execution:


My point was that the only drug we know to be used in Alabama is midazolam, which is not banned. So unless snowpixie has inside knowledge of Alabama's execution protocol and the other drugs used, she must have been talking about midazolam.

Re: Man sues over botched execution:



Many of the manufacturers of midazolam have banned the use of their product in executions.

this leaves many states without a supply as midazolam has a short shelf life and could not be stockpiled

They may refuse to sell the drug directly to states that use it for executions, but they can't ban people from using it if they acquire it through other channels.

Re: Man sues over botched execution:


true,

but if, for example, Pfizer find out that some one that they are supplying are themselves supplying the executioner they will cut supplies to that outlet who may then have difficulty in getting any supplies for 'legitimate' use, Pfizer may even refuse to supply them at all (and other manufacturers may follow suit)how many are going to place themselves in that position?
