The high court ruled late Wednesday that Lockett and Warner are not entitled to know the source of the drugs that will be used to kill them, information they had sought through a civil lawsuit.
I'm pro-death penalty in monstrous cases such as this where guilt is not a question, but not allowing the condemned to know the mix of drugs that will kill them is total bullshite, IMV.
The punishers are supposed to be better than the punished, and there's really no need for secrecy on the method unless there's some degree of embarrassment involved. Knowledge of the cocktail mix doesn't serve the condemned for very long, obviously, but it serves us in whose name it's being administered. I want to know how I'm killing somebody. I want that somebody to know how I'm killing him.

The left wants to get lawsuits to stop the drug makers. I guess this is an attempt to protect them. I'd just pop then with a bolus of Potassium, the heart beats one time, and never repolarizes. Quick, as in a heart beat, no suffering, no pre-sedation crap drugs needed....

The op indicated that they did not know the source of the drugs, not that they didn't know the actual drugs. It's a truly trivial point as they grasp at straws.

If we used a rope or a bullet then they would certainly know what was killing them, and the government could save money. Hell, the government already has all the bullets they would need.

They are better. They are killing the sorry scum bags.

There's no need for full disclosure. Contrary to your opinion, you do not have the right to know everything.

They do know. A damned MSDS sheet isn't going to bring them any comfort.
