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.

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.

The Bible does say "Thou shalt not kill". It is a commandment. However, it does go on to describe what should happen to those who do spill the blood of innocents. Please don't confuse the commandment with the ramifications of breaking it.
