You should be executed in the exact same manner that you killed.

It was two hours, and that's because after about the 3rd attempt they had to bring in another person to try after the first one failed.

Funny thing is, unlike most of my fellow conservatives, I don't even support the death penalty on principle. "Thou shalt not kill", and all, but I wouldn't ever go out of my way to keep this guy alive. He killed a woman for money. As far as I'm concerned, he's lost his humanity. I don't care whether he lives or dies.

Try to get a Constitutional Convention together to repeal the 8th Amendment.

Were you there?

ETA I’m not approaching this from a moral standpoint. I don’t support the death penalty. I’m looking at it through a Constitutional lens.

Elizabeth Sennett. He has been alive 35 years longer than his victim.

she had been beaten with a blunt object and stabbed repeatedly. She had eight stab wounds to the chest and one on each side of her neck.

I don’t get why they need to come up with new ways. Weren’t the old ways working? It’s literally so easy to kill people. Even time will get all of us one day

Ronnie May remembers the horrific scene on March 18, 1988, when he responded to a call from Charles Sennett, a Church of Christ pastor in Sheffield.

Sennett claimed he found his wife, Elizabeth Sennett, dead in their home on Coon Dog Cemetery Road in Colbert County. She had been stabbed, and beaten with a fireplace implement, in what investigators would soon conclude was a murder-for-hire paid for by the pastor and staged to look like a home invasion and burglary.

“She fought it and she fought hard,” said May, who was chief investigator with the Colbert County Sheriff’s Office at the time. “It was horrific to me.” “You feel for the victim and what they went through - and the horror she went through in her last minutes,” May said.

And you feel for the family and the range of emotions, including pain and anger, May said of the Sennetts’ two sons. “You see the horror and disbelief in their faces,” said May, who retired in 2015 after 42 years in law enforcement and 16 years as sheriff.




Kenny beat and stabbed a woman to death for $1,000. I don’t give a frick if they tie him to a tree, cover him in meat sauce and release some pit bulls.

not only had she been beaten with a galvanized pipe, but she’d also been stabbed multiple times in the chest, neck, face, and scalp.


Moreover, he was convicted in 1988. There’s no suspicion that we have the wrong guy. We should have put him to death 30 years ago.

The progs have been using back door means of getting the drug manufacturers of the old drugs to stop shipping their product to the authorities. They’ve created this issue for themselves. We should go back to hanging or a firing squad.

By Geneva Protocols/Geneva convention this would be qualified as a mock execution and prohibited behavior. The ironic thing is the actual execution is still viable.

Asphyxiation, of any type, is a terrible way to go. I'm guessing he gets knocked out first to get around the cruel and unusual part.

He won’t be conscious.

Know what else is a terrible way to go? When two guys bust into your house and beat and stab you to death and it takes hours for you to die.

Depends on the method; most of the panic/pain comes from the inability to fill the lungs, like if you're being strangled. When the lungs can fill normally but there's no oxygen you just pass out really quickly.

If so his arse was asleep and was under exactly zero stress.

OK, then maybe they should just blindfold his murderous arse, shove a 12-gauge under his chin and pull the trigger.

No torture. Won't feel a thing. Deader than Elvis at the pull of the trigger.

So your angle is cruel and unusual punishment correct?

If that's your angle, it cant be for them missing the vein a few times because that happens daily in hospitals and clinics.

If you're arguing its cruel and unusual to submit someone to thinking they are going to die in a few short moments but not actually dying? 1. Wouldnt the person be relieved? 2. Criminals can do just like this guy supposedly did and dehydrate himself to the point where they cannot get his veins. Then what? Oh well we tried? What about the victims family having to live thru this over and over again. I feel no compassion for a murderer on death row as they usually are the worst of the worst.

If you're arguing that nitrogen is cruel and unusual you just dont know what you're talking about. You may cling to experimental but its not new. It happens more than it should on jobsites and the people it happens to never know what hits them. They'll find a safe way to administer it. A supplied air hood with nitrogen would suffice.

Using 4Commies logic, can I sue the hospital if they miss my vein the first time?
