Lethal dose leaves condemned man squirming
Eerily strange. I can’t imagine what the rest of the room might have been thinking when this man sat up to express his own observation of the lethal doses failure.
A DOUBLE murderer was put to death in Ohio – but not until after one of his veins had collapsed, causing the condemned man to sit up and tell his executioners “It’s not working”, officials say. [...] A spokeswoman, Andrea Dean, said the execution was delayed about 90 minutes because technicians had trouble initially finding a site in Clark’s arm for the intravenous line carrying the chemicals. Then shortly after the poisons were supposed to have been pumping into his body, she said he sat up saying: “It’s not working. It’s not working.”
It sounded like this man was prepared to die. I can’t imagine what would go through the mind of an individual who wasn’t.
