they should have just cut off both his feet and let him bleed out for 34 mins.
I am glad he suffered. It's not only about the criminal being punished. It serves as an example to others that there is a price to pay. It's just a shame that it took 27 years of the taxpayer supporting this murderer for justice to be served.
Wow, no mention of the torture or drawn out death of the person he killed?! I am sure the police framed him, the jury misunderstood, the prosecutor lied, the court messed up..... Blah, Blah, Blah, I say bring back 'old smokey' and see if the sparking electric chair deters any crime...Happy Holidays
A bullet would have been quicker.
there is no such thing as cruel and unusual punishment. The topless bartender and her family surely suffered for more than 34 minutes.
Poor guy. Wish I could have seen it. And very fact that he was most likely unconcious says that he probably didn't feel a thing. Too bad. Bring back the chair without the electrolyte. Then you would really see punishment. He got better treatment than in China or Saudi Arabia.
Where is the concern for the suffering of the victim and family members? I'm happy to see that other commenters agree. When will this nation stop taking the side of the perpetrators? When will we express outrage for the victims and their families instead of wasting energy crying for criminals? Wake up, America!
Who cares if he suffered for 34 minutes or 34 years. He killed another human and now their family must suffer a lifetime. Maybe justice was served today after all........................
Wish we could do the same up here in canada....Get rid of them!!!!
