I have no trouble with the death penalty for particularly heinous crimes. multiple murders, sexual crimes against Children where death is involved are examples where its time to escort the criminal off of this mortal coil, and only in crimes where you have multiple points of corroboration, DNA, witnesses to the crime, forensic evidence.
In this guys case, for some reason it doesn't disturb me much. The guy was scum plain and simple, and he did his best to twist the knife a little deeper with his final words.
I don't know if he suffered in this death or not, we can talk about how long it took, but he got a massive dose of sedatives and his body fought on.
But if they're going to continue to practice the death penalty they have to find a sure fire way of causing death. using a high speed car crusher would probably do it.
