Missouri Can't liKl People Anymore

A judge put a stop to executions in Missouri today until the state makes changes in the way it kills people who have killed people.

U.S. District Judge Fernando Gaitan Jr. ruled the state’s lethal injection procedure subjects death row inmates to an unnecessary risk of "unconstitutional pain and suffering." The Department of Corrections has until July 15 to come up with a new protocol. Currently there is no written protocol which describes which drugs will be administered.

The judge was also "gravely concerned" because the lone doctor in charge of mixing the lethal drugs in Missouri is dyslexic. The dyslexic doctor has difficulty with numbers, which might be a problem when mixing drugs.

I'm sure if he passed medical school, he can figure it out.

somehow i'd trust the courts less than i'd trust a dyslexic doctor. if i've learned anything from watching ridiculous amounts of law & order, sometimes the DA makes mistakes, and sometimes the jury sends the wrong person to the chair, and sometimes angie harmon does strange things to my waking dreams.

I suppose they figured throwing the criminals into the woods and letting the animals eat them would be enough... tongue

I bet it hurts even more when the "convicted" was really innocent.

Look at it from a broader perspective. Even if they weren't guilty of that crime, I'm sure they were guilty of something

Our concept of Law is that "something" that your sure he's guilty of has no bearing on the crime at hand unless they are connected (ie. Killing someone and Stealing their money= Robbery and Murder)...

Justice and Law dont always go hand in hand.....

Whatever dude.
These people are almost always poor anyway. If they'd make something of themselves they wouldn't have anything to worry about. My taxes pay for public defenders for these deadbeats, then I gotta hear people cry because some "innocent" people got fried?
Call the Whaaaambulance!
Edit:ooo aaa ooo aaa wink

Hooraydiation forgot the "I'm doing my compassionate-conservative shtick" emoters.

Cause no matter how over-the-top you are, there is always a campaigning republican to the right of your parody.
