Outcry as Alabama executes Kenneth Smith with first new method in decades – updates
www.independent.co.uk
Kenneth Eugene Smith put to death using the ‘novel’ method – despite condemnation from the UN and human rights groups

“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    you are conflating waterboarding with non consensual, but expected waterboarding.

    What?

      if you’re a prisoner on death row, it’s not exactly like you have zero advanced notice of whats going to happen.

      Given that bureaucracy exists, i think it might be prudent to say that you might even have ALL of the advanced notice one could possibly want in that scenario.
