In this case justice prevails.
Written by GussFlorida Governor Charlie Crist has signed his first death warrant, ending a seven-month moratorium adopted by the US state after a botched execution.
His predecessor, Jeb Bush, suspended lethal injections in late 2006 after a convicted murderer took 34 minutes to die and had to be given a second dose.Mr Crist said steps had been taken to improve the execution process.
The warrant is for Mark Dean Schwab, sentenced to death in 1992 for kidnap, rape and murder of an 11-year-old boy.
He is scheduled to be executed on 15 November this year.

I’m going to compare this to when we have had our animals put to sleep.
The vet first injects the pet with a sedative that makes the animal so loose she could perform surgery on him or her.
After the sedative has taken effect the pet has no idea what’s going on around him or her and is really unconscious for all intents and purposes.
Then the muscle relaxers and other drugs are administered as a cocktail and in seconds the pet is gone without pain or suffering.
If we are going to execute people we should do it as humanely as possible. If it takes someone a long time to die then something wrong was done, but if they sedate the prisoner first and then administer the cocktail of drugs he won’t suffer, and the Constitutional requirement of not having cruel and unusual punishment would be met.
I certainly hope every person sentenced to death is guilty and proven so by confession and DNA whenever possible. Once dead it’s kind of hard to correct a mistake.

I’m sorry but I think that if there is no mistake that he should suffer the mental and physical pain that he inflicted.

Will he be any more dead if he suffers? Will he be less dead if he doesn’t? If I wouldn’t make my pet suffer how could I wish for a person to suffer when suffering can be prevented. After all, his life is being taken whether he suffers or not.

Maybe we should let the family of the child he tortured and
raped, handle the matter.

I think a real punishment would be spending the rest of his life behind bars knowing he’ll never see daylight again.
