Physician participation in capital punishment: a question of professional integrity. (1/14)

The death penalty is legal in 36 states, and physicians are expected to attend and participate in executions. Yet, every major medical and health-related organization opposes physician participation in capital punishment. This article argues that it is unethical for physicians within the role as medical professional to participate in capital punishment, and that such acts erode the foundation of trust at the heart of medical practice. We believe that it is important for professional groups and medical societies to impose sanctions on members who choose to participate in executions.  (+info)

Lethal injection for execution: chemical asphyxiation? (4/14)

BACKGROUND: Lethal injection for execution was conceived as a comparatively humane alternative to electrocution or cyanide gas. The current protocols are based on one improvised by a medical examiner and an anesthesiologist in Oklahoma and are practiced on an ad hoc basis at the discretion of prison personnel. Each drug used, the ultrashort-acting barbiturate thiopental, the neuromuscular blocker pancuronium bromide, and the electrolyte potassium chloride, was expected to be lethal alone, while the combination was intended to produce anesthesia then death due to respiratory and cardiac arrest. We sought to determine whether the current drug regimen results in death in the manner intended. METHODS AND FINDINGS: We analyzed data from two US states that release information on executions, North Carolina and California, as well as the published clinical, laboratory, and veterinary animal experience. Execution outcomes from North Carolina and California together with interspecies dosage scaling of thiopental effects suggest that in the current practice of lethal injection, thiopental might not be fatal and might be insufficient to induce surgical anesthesia for the duration of the execution. Furthermore, evidence from North Carolina, California, and Virginia indicates that potassium chloride in lethal injection does not reliably induce cardiac arrest. CONCLUSIONS: We were able to analyze only a limited number of executions. However, our findings suggest that current lethal injection protocols may not reliably effect death through the mechanisms intended, indicating a failure of design and implementation. If thiopental and potassium chloride fail to cause anesthesia and cardiac arrest, potentially aware inmates could die through pancuronium-induced asphyxiation. Thus the conventional view of lethal injection leading to an invariably peaceful and painless death is questionable.  (+info)

Media influenced imitative hanging: a report from West Bengal. (5/14)

Media influences behaviour, especially of the young children and adolescents in various ways. The present study examined the media coverage of a judicial hanging and its immediate social effect. In a qualitative study the media coverage of a case of a judicial hanging was thoroughly discussed and the media influence, for over a period of ten weeks of the incident, in terms of suicide and copying of hanging among children, was collected and analysed. Eighteen cases were reported as an aftermath of this hanging: 1 suicide and 17 imitative hanging in children with 5 deaths. This report calls for attention that media should be cautious and responsible in presenting the news items that have potential social impact.  (+info)

Punishing physicians who torture: a work in progress. (6/14)

BACKGROUND: There are only a few anecdotal accounts describing physicians being punished for complicity with torture or crimes against humanity. A fuller list of such cases would address the perception that physicians may torture with impunity and point to how to improve their accountability for such crimes. METHODS: We performed a multilingual web search of the records of international and national courts, military tribunals, medical associations (licensing boards and medical societies), medical and non-medical literature databases, human rights groups and media stories for reports of physicians who had been punished for complicity with torture or crimes against humanity that were committed after World War II. RESULTS: We found 56 physicians in eight countries who had been punished for complicity with torture or crimes against humanity. Courts punish crimes. Medical societies punish ethics violations. Fifty-one physicians (85%) had been punished by the medical associations of five countries. Eleven (18%) had been punished by domestic courts. International courts had imprisoned two (3%) physicians. Several were punished by courts and professional associations. There are open cases against 22 physicians. CONCLUSIONS: Punishments against physicians for crimes against humanity are becoming institutionalized. Medical associations must lead in shouldering responsibility for self-regulation in this matter. Physicians have supervised torture ever since medieval "Torture Physicians" certified that prisoners were medically capable of withstanding the torture and of providing the desired testimony. Revelations of sadistic medical experiments on prisoners during World War II turned the world against physician torturers and led to the "Doctor's Trial" at Nuremberg, a trial that held physicians accountable for crimes against humanity. This paper describes the largest case series of physicians who have been punished for abetting torture or other crimes against humanity committed after World War II. We wanted to: 1) describe and categorize the hearing procedures, 2) identify the roles of punished physicians, 3) categorize acts for which physicians are punished, and 4) describe the political cultures in which punishments arise. Our larger aim was to learn whether punishments against physicians for abetting torture or crimes against humanity occur under sufficiently diverse environments as to inform generalizable public policy to punish and perhaps to deter this kind of medical misconduct.  (+info)

Electrocution-related mortality: a review of 351 deaths by low-voltage electrical current. (7/14)

BACKGROUND: We describe herein the characteristics of lethal injuries caused by low-voltage electrical current (electrocution), the most frequent injury caused by electrical current. METHODS: Nine hundred forty-five cases over a period of 41 years (1965-2006) were reviewed, of which, 351 electrocution cases were identified. The descriptive statistical analyses were carried out with the application of SPSS 11.0 software. RESULTS: Electrocution accounted for 37.14% of all studied electricity-caused injuries. The average age of the victims was 35.25 years. The average age of male victims was 36.19 years and of female victims was 32.55 years. The distribution by gender showed a significant prevalence of the male sex (74.07%). Among the circumstances leading to electrocution, household accidents (78.06%) prevailed over occupational accidents (13.39%). Suicides were significantly rarer (7.41%). 66.10% of all electrocution cases occurred during the summer period from June through September. CONCLUSION: Household accidents prevail among the circumstances under which electrocution occurs, with an insignificant difference in the male/female proportion in this group. The majority of electrocutions occurred during the summer period (June-September). The results obtained in this research can help in the development of a differentiated strategy for the prevention of electrocution, while taking into consideration gender, age and season of the year.  (+info)

Today, I want to take on another one of the big-ticket moral issues; capital punishment.. My overall position is that the issue of capital punishment is complex and depends on whether certain facts are true or false. Then again, I hold that all moral claims are to be determined to be true or false and are not to be settled by means of an appeal to feelings, intuitions, a mysterious moral sense, or similar forms of magic.. For example, the murder rate is highest in the South, where capital punishment is widely used, and lower in Northern states which have ceased to support capital punishment. (pdf) Murder rates are higher in the United States than they are in Europe, which has also given up capital punishment. They are higher, even, than in Canada, which has also quit using capital punishment.. In this case, I suspect that the evidence suggests that capital punishment is wrong. By this I mean that society is best served by promoting an overall aversion to killing that is so strong that we are ...
Now we know all this lethal injection litigation is getting serious. Texas has carried out seven executions by lethal injection since the US Supreme Court decided to take up a procedural issue in Hill about constitutional challenges to execution protocols, and some of the executed defendants had raised (and had rejected) claims about the states lethal injection protocol. Thus, despite all the swirling lethal injection litigation, I was pretty sure Texas was going to go forward with two additional planned executions this week.. But, in another amazing chapter in the lethal injection litigation saga, today there is now this report that the highest state criminal court in Texas has granted a stay of execution: ...
Jerry,. Thank you for the informative post. If I can respond with two uninformed comments and (worse) a speculation:. 1. As you note, according to Gallup, the percent of those opposed to the death penalty has more than doubled since the late 1980s and early 1990s, and support for capital punishment has fallen to a 39-year low. It would be interesting to know if the Christian support for capital punishment has remained stable or also declined.. This would be most interesting to know for Catholics. In 1995, Pope John Paul II, in Evangelium Vitae, said that executions should only be carried out in rare, if not practically non-existent cases of absolute necessity. In 1999, in St. Louis, he suggested that the death penalty was cruel and unnecessary. Although American bishops had earlier said that the use of the death penalty was not justified in the United States (e.g., Cardinal Bernardin), this papal disapproval seemed like a development.. Has American Catholic support for the death penalty ...
For example, in October of 2009 Gallup conducted its yearly death penalty survey and found that nationally, 65% of U.S. citizens favored capital punishment for murder. Yet, incredibly, when New York City residents were asked a month later if they supported the death penalty for alleged 911 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed if found guilty, 77% sad yes while only 18% said no (USA Today/Gallup, Nov. 20-22, 2009). Politically, socially and culturally, NYC is a very liberal place. It is bluer than blue. Yet it decisively trumped the rest of the nation in support for the death penalty when a very real incident involving real evil was in play. And, I might add, one cant be a true foe of capital punishment if an exception is made for a particular individual (granted, a particularly bad one ...

I hope I will not be obliged to spend too much time on my friends address. I dont think I shall need to.. First, I deny his statement that every mans heart tells him it is wrong to kill. I think every mans heart desires killing. Personally, I never killed anybody that I know of. But I have had a great deal of satisfaction now and then reading obituary notices, and I used to delight, with the rest of my 100 percent patriotic friends, when I saw ten or fifteen thousand Germans being killed in a day.. Everybody loves killing. Some of them think it is too mussy or them. Every human being believes in capital punishment loves killing, and the only reason they believe in capital punishment is because they get a kick out of it. Nobody kills anyone for love, unless they get over it temporarily or otherwise. But they kill the one they hate. And before you can get a trial to hang somebody or electrocute him, you must first hate him and then get a satisfaction over his death.. There is no emotion in any ...

The moral issues in the current controversy are numerous. Catholic moral theology has, in general, become increasingly opposed to capital punishment. Pope John Paul II, in his encyclical Evangelium vitae (#56), maintained that when the state can protect society against murderers by other means, the case for capital punishment-especially under modern penal conditions-is rare, if practically non-existent. The Catholic bishops of the United States, as a national episcopal conference as well as individually and in local conferences, have also been long opposed to capital punishment.. Lets look at the issue of vecuronium bromide.. States have turned to capital punishment through lethal injection because they believe the method combines reliability with minimum suffering. The traditional methods of execution in the United States-primarily lethal gas or electrocution (although a few states still retained hanging or shooting)-have fallen into disfavor. Executing prisoners by lethal injection was ...
This short-term study comes at a time when there is considerable national debate and commentary on the administration of the death penalty. This study combines Bible study with compelling stories from persons who have been directly affected by capital crimes to help adults form and/or reform their thinking on capital punishment. It looks at various denominational views and nations policies related to the issue, as well as providing several suggested plans for actions.

Built on in-depth interviews with movement leaders and the records of key abolitionist organizations, this work traces the struggle against capital punishment in the United States since 1972. Haines reviews the legal battles that led to the short-lived suspension of the death penalty and examines the subsequent conservative turn in the courts that has forced death penalty opponents to rely less on litigation strategies and more on political action.

Corrections officials on Thursday announced new procedures for executing prisoners by lethal injection, beating a May 1 deadline by a day and clearing a major obstacle to resuming capital punishment after a hiatus of more than four years.. The proposed changes in the death chamber procedures are intended to address concerns expressed by a federal judge in 2006 that the states previous three-drug formula may have exposed some of the 13 people executed in the last two decades to unconstitutionally cruel and unusual punishment.. Although the new procedures could get final approval from the state Office of Administrative Law within a month, executions are unlikely to resume soon as state and federal judges must first review the largely minor changes and decide whether they address the constitutional questions and procedural complaints by death penalty opponents. Those reviews are likely to extend at least through the end of the year.. California has 703 inmates on death row, and a handful of ...
Posner has a good discussion of the various issue related to capital punishment. I will concentrate my comments on deterrence, which is really the crucial issue in the acrimonious debate over capital punishment. I support the use of capital punishment for persons convicted of murder because, and only because, I believe it deters murders. If I did not believe that, I would be opposed because revenge and the other possible motives that are mentioned and discussed by Posner, should not be a basis for public policy. As Posner indicates, serious empirical research on capital punishment began with Isaac Ehrlichs pioneering...

Its controversy-time for Rockstar again. Reuters reports that Thailand has halted sale of Grand Theft Auto 4 after a dumbass teenager admitted to killing a goddamn taxi driver after being inspired by the game. While were not sure as to how much of an impact this is going to have on the games sales, Rockstar is definitely going to take some moral beatings.. The 18 year old boy wanted to see if its as easy to hijack a taxi as it is in the game. To conduct this experiment, he tried it on a 54 year old taxi driver. When the driver resisted, the boy killed him with a knife. He was later caught trying to steer a cab backwards out of a Bangkok street with the severely wounded driver in the back seat. Holy shit.. And whats worse? The boy will be executed by a lethal injection if proved guilty. Seriously. Im not even sure what to say. The boy was an arse alright, but a lethal injection? Thailands law is not to be messed with.. While anti-video game fanatics will say otherwise, I still say that ...
When it comes to who gets a death sentence, skin color matters. At least thats what the numbers suggest: Never since capital punishment began in Florida in 1769 has the state executed a white person for killing an African-American. Of Floridas 368 inmates on death row as of Dec. 10, only five whites await execution for killing a black person. According to a 1991 study, the odds of a Florida death sentence for those who kill white people are about 3.4 times higher than for those who kill African-Americans. On Thursday, as lawmakers approved a switch to lethal injection as Floridas chief form of execution, Democrats tried to add a provision that would allow accused murderers to argue that race is a factor in their cases. The GOP-led Legislature rejected the measure. Gov. Jeb Bush, who also opposed the measure, established a 15-member task force to study the role of race in capital sentencing. The task force also will address whether mentally retarded inmates should be condemned to die. Task ...
Paul. There is an ongoing debate within the Church, including moral theologians and Bishops, regarding the status of the acceptance or rejection of the death penalty. It is cases like those you ask about that provoke the debate.. We do know this:. Aborting a child is an intrinsic evil Capital punishment should be avoid whenever necessary and should be unwarranted in a civilized society, but that would mean that justice is consonant with the natural law in the culture where the death penalty is rarely used. That is not the case in a nation like ours that uses its laws to approve the direct killing of the innocent in situations like abortion and euthanasia.. Therefore in the USA at this time any ban on capital punishment is hypocritical because the law condones the direct killing of innocent people prior to birth. That is a double standard.. Finally the Church has not defined capital punishment as an intrinsic evil.. Judie Brown ...
The US shortage has been in part attributed to European pharmaceutical company Lundbecks 2011 decision to stop distributing the drug to prisons in U.S. states currently carrying out the death penalty by lethal injection.. But, further to that, the European Union banned the export of drugs which could be used for capital punishment, torture, or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in December 2011.. The EU is strongly opposed to the death penalty. Abolishing the death penalty is an explicit and absolute condition to become a member state.. In 2005, the EU banned trade in certain products that can only be used for capital punishment or torture.. It was an ambitious regulation, but it was limited to prohibiting the manufacture of these products in the EU and their exportation, socialist MEP Inmaculada Rodríguez-Piñero told Euronews.. Among the drugs that the EU banned in 2011 was sodium thiopental, another drug commonly used in US lethal injections as part of a ...
Georgia and Missouri have carried out the nations first executions since a botched lethal injection in Oklahoma in April revived concerns about capital punishment.
Im not terribly excited to discuss capital punishment. My personal opinions on the subject have evolved in the 30 years since the girlfriend of a college buddy was murdered by restaurant coworker. But in light of the faulty execution of a convicted killer in Oklahoma on Tuesday night, heres a primer on the drugs used for lethal injection.
The electric chair is cruel and unusual punishment, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled on Friday. Working on a clean slate, Nebraska may choose a form of lethal injection that does not rely on the combination of three chemicals that is the subject of a pending challenge in the Supreme Court of the United States. Fridays ruling is not binding outside Nebraska, but some legal experts said courts may now be reluctant to allow condemned inmates to choose electrocution in states where that is an option. Lethal gas was briefly popular, and lethal injection, now the almost universal method of execution, was introduced in 1977. Thirty-four of the 38 states with capital punishment had moved by 1999 to lethal injection as the sole method or as an option, largely because it was considered more humane than the other methods.
The matter of capital punishment has been debated in America for more than 150 years and has been a serious matter of contention for more than half a century. The Supreme Court temporarily stopped all executions in the United States in the early 1970s, but the constitutionality of the practice was reaffirmed in 1976.. The practice of capital punishment may be opposed on a number of grounds: belief in the inherent value of all life, the inconsistency of practice due to societal or racial biases, the financial burden of legal defense and appeals leading to execution, etc. But there is one opposing argument that should never be made, namely that the Bible forbids it.. One of the most oft-cited Scriptures used against the practice of capital punishment is the Sixth Commandment in the Decalogue, Thou shalt not kill. The use of this commandment reveals a gross ignorance of the text and makes the Scripture contradict itself in this matter.. The word so translated kill in Exodus 20:13 means to ...
SEPPUKU AS CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: While the voluntary seppuku described above is the best known form and has been widely admired and idealized, in practice the most common form of seppuku was obligatory seppuku, used as a form of capital punishment for disgraced samurai, especially for those who committed a serious offense such as unprovoked murder, robbery, corruption, or treason. The samurai were generally told of their offense in full and given a set time to commit seppuku, usually before sunset on a given day. If the sentenced was uncooperative, it was not unheard of for them to be restrained, or for the actual execution to be carried out by decapitation while retaining only the trappings of seppuku; even the short sword laid out in front of the victim could be replaced with a fan. Unlike voluntary seppuku, seppuku carried out as capital punishment did not necessarily absolve the victims family of the crime. Depending on the severity of the crime, half or all of the deceaseds property could ...
A particular item of moral confusion in our day is the appeal that many people make to the issues of capital punishment and war. Capital punishment and war are often presented on the same plane as abortion and euthanasia. But such is not the case and cannot be supported by Church teaching. Though it is true that capital punishment and war should be last resorts, and can rarely be justified, they are not intrinsically evil; neither practice includes the direct intention of killing innocent human beings (The Most Rev. Raymond L. Burke, Archbishop of St. Louis, Pastoral Letter on Our Civic Responsibility for the Common Good, October 1, 2004, n. 30). The constant teaching of the Catholic Church has always recognized, and continues to recognize, the principle of legitimate self-defense. This principle affirms that individuals have the right to protect the good of their own lives and nations have the right, even a duty, to protect the lives of their citizens. This principle is not an exception to ...
Absolutely not.. Included in the extensive hearing transcripts of various lethal-injection challenges around the country are stories of inmates, like one in Ohio, raising his head in the middle of his own execution to say, Its not working. In Alabama, officials at one point said they would execute an inmate who had compromised veins by placing an IV in the saphenous vein in his arm; that vein is actually in the leg. In an important case in California - the state with the most prisoners on death row - investigations have revealed inadequate execution conditions comparable to those in Missouri, in addition to alarming problems with an incompetent execution team. As these various court proceedings were unfolding, corrections officials in Starke, Fla., executed Angel Diaz by lethal injection on Dec. 13, 2006. But because the execution team punctured the veins in Diazs arms when putting in the intravenous catheters, forcing the drugs into the soft tissue instead, Diaz grimaced for as long as 26 ...

Europe is today the only region in the world where the death penalty has been almost completely abolished. In the Council of Europes 45 member states, including the European Unions 15 member states and its 13 candidate countries, capital punishment is no longer applied. The Council of Europe played a pioneering role in the battle for abolition, believing that the death penalty has no place in democratic societies under any circumstances. This determination to eradicate the death penalty was reflected in Protocol No.6 to the European Convention on Human Rights, on the abolition of the death penalty in peacetime, which was adopted in April 1983, then in Protocol No.13 on the abolition of the death penalty in all circumstances, adopted in May 2002.Introduced by Roger Hood, an international expert on death penalty legislation, this book reviews the long and sometimes tortuous path to abolition in Europe. It also addresses the tangible problems which countries face once the death penalty has been abolished
The most potentially significant capital case this Term was Bucklew v. Precythe,[12] involving an as-applied challenge to Missouris lethal injection protocol. Death-sentenced inmates have never won a challenge to execution methods in the U.S. Supreme Court. In the nineteenth century, the Court rejected a challenge to execution by firing squad in the Utah Territory.[13] Citing scholars of military law, the Court found the authorities . . . quite sufficient to show that the punishment of shooting as a mode of executing the death penalty did not constitute cruel and unusual punishment as proscribed by the Eighth Amendment.[14] A little over a decade later, the Court likewise rejected the claim that New Yorks adoption of the electric chair violated the Constitution, although the decision rested in part on its view that New York-as opposed to the Utah Territory-was not a federal entity and thus not clearly bound by the Eighth Amendment[15] (which the Court did not incorporate and apply against ...
By Patrick J. Buchanan. Last week, the Supreme Court held, 7 to 2, that Kentuckys method of lethal injection remains a constitutional way of executing the rapist of a child. Justice John Paul Stevens concurred. In his opinion, however, Stevens exhilarated liberals by coming out of the closet as a born-again abolitionist of capital punishment.. Said his honor, it is time to reconsider the justification for the death penalty itself. Court decisions and state actions that justify it are but the product of habit and inattention rather than an acceptable and deliberative process.. Enlightened men and women, the justice is saying, will abolish capital punishment as a barbaric relic of a blessedly bygone era..

The lethal injection challenge being argued today at the Supreme Court involves a three-drug protocol developed by Oklahomas medical examiner in 1977, says the Washington Post: sodium thiopental, to render the inmate unconscious; pancuronium bromide, to paralyze the muscles; and potassium chloride, to cause cardiac arrest. The protocol is used in 35 of the 36 states with the death penalty. Attorneys for Kentucky inmates say the protocol is a complicated process that must be performed with precision to avoid the […]

The primitive American welfare state that followed the great depression of the 1930s, and was extended by the great society of the 1960s, served to thinly mask the worst aspects of uncontrolled capitalism. These had nearly brought the nation to revolution during the most miserable economic chaos, and for more than generation, Band-Aids applied to the worst wounds stopped some of the systems bleeding. But that mutated welfare state has since been under steady assault , and it presently hangs by threads, where there once were bandages. With neo-liberal politics in control, public services and government supports are being forced back to the domain of the market. The political economics of capitalism are revealed, as never before, in all their ugliness.. Among the weapons of mass destruction inherent in this system , none is more deadly than its assault on the planetary life support system. Global warming is only one aspect of its attack, though it may pose the most long term danger. But there are ...
RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia must stop the use of the death penalty following a significant increase in executions in the kingdom in the last six weeks, Amnesty International said Friday.. At least 27 people have been executed in the top oil exporter in 2011, equalling the total number of people executed in 2010 while 15 were executed in May alone, the rights group said in a statement.. Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under the kingdoms strict interpretation of sharia law.. The Saudi authorities must immediately stop executions and commute all death sentences, with a view to abolishing the death penalty completely, said Philip Luther, the groups deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa..

The United States anti-abortion movement formed as a response to the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton Supreme Court decisions, with many anti-abortion organizations having emerged since then. There is also a smaller consistent life ethic movement, favoring a philosophy which opposes all forms of killing, including abortion, war, euthanasia, and capital punishment. The current movement is in part a continuation of previous debates on abortion that led to the practice being banned in all states in the late 19th century. The initial movement was led by physicians, but also included politicians and feminists. Among physicians, advances in medical knowledge played a significant role in influencing anti-abortion opinion. Quickening, which had previously been thought to be the point at which the soul entered a human was discovered to be a relatively unimportant step in fetal development, causing them to rethink their position of early term abortions.[14] Ideologically, the Hippocratic Oath ...

510) 835-8098, x3013. OAKLAND, CA. The U.S. Supreme Courts March 1, 2005 ruling to ban the juvenile death penalty was a major victory for NCYL and other child advocacy groups that have worked for years to abolish the practice.. A long-time active opponent of the juvenile death penalty, NCYL joined about 50 other child advocacy groups in filing an amicus curiae brief urging the Court to ban the practice. The Court found that this countrys rare practice of executing criminal offenders under the age of 18 amounts to cruel and unusual punishment and is therefore unconstitutional.. The Supreme Court decision banning the death penalty for children is a huge step in the right direction, said NCYL Director John OToole. State-sponsored killing of children is barbaric and has no place in a civilized society.. NCYL joined the Juvenile Law Center, Childrens Defense Fund, Child Welfare League of America, and other advocacy organizations in filing amicus curiae briefs with the U.S. Supreme Court ...

Dale Baich, an attorney for Glossip in Oklahomas Lethal Injection Case before the U.S. Supreme Court last summer stated, We cannot trust Oklahoma to get it right or to tell the truth. The execution logs for Charles Warner say that he was administered potassium chloride, but now the State says potassium acetate was used. We will explore this in detail through the discovery process in the federal litigation. Former state Sen. Connie Johnson, D-Oklahoma City, called the news concerning Warner shocking and disturbing, but said the recent turmoil is essential to the goals of the Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (OK-CADP). Johnson is now chairman of the group, which is opposed to executions across-the-board. Johnson continued, saying the revelation reinforces our efforts and renews our determination to continue to educate Oklahomans about the many things that are wrong with the death penalty. We look forward to continuing to add our voices to the dialog and the reporting around ...
DPN opposes the death penalty in all cases, unconditionally, regardless of the method chosen to kill the condemned prisoner. The death penalty is inherently cruel and degrading, an archaic punishment that is incompatible with human dignity. To end the death penalty is to abandon a destructive diversionary and divisive public policy that is not consistent with widely held values. The death penalty not only runs the risk of irrevocable error, it is also costly to the public purse as well as in social and psychological terms.The death penalty has not been proved to have a special deterrent effect. It tends to be applied in a discriminatory way on grounds of race and class. It denies the possibility of reconciliation and rehabilitation. It prolongs the suffering of the murder victims family and extends that suffering to the loved ones of the condemned prisoner. It diverts resources that could be better used to work against violent crime and assist those affected by it ...

Last month, federal Judge Beth Phillips said in a ruling in a death penalty case that it weighed heavily on her that condemned inmate Herbert Smulls had no legal means to learn more about how Missouris execution drug is made.. Under a Missouri law enacted in 2007, information that could be used to identify Missouri executioners is exempt from the states open records law. Under one of the laws provisions, executioners can sue anyone who knowingly releases their identities. When Missouri hired a compounding pharmacy last fall to produce drugs for its lethal injections, the Department of Corrections said it considered the pharmacy, as part of the execution team, to be secret under the law.. By the time Smulls case got to Phillips, the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals had already ruled that he was not entitled to learn more about the pharmacists making Missouris drugs for executions. The issue was moot, the court said, because Smulls had not proposed a more humane way to die. Phillips denied ...
Hyperkalemia is a medical term to indicate that the level of potassium in the blood is too high. Depending on the level of potassium in the blood, this can be a medical emergency. A level that is too high can lead to abnormal hearth rhythms. Many medications can cause hyperkalemia, and it is much more likely to occur in people kidney problems. Although hyperkalemia often doesnt cause symptoms, doctors worry about hyperkalemia because it can cause a sudden change of heart rhythm in people who had not been having any symptoms. These abnormal heart rhythms can be deadly. In the cases where death penalty is carried out using lethal injection, a hyperkalemia may be provoked atificially. Some of the mixtures used in the injections contain potassium chloride which will raise the level of potassium in the blood considerably. ...

c. 2014 USA Today (RNS) After an unusual six-week lapse in executions in the nation since a botched effort in Oklahoma on April 29, two men could face lethal-injection deaths in Georgia and Missouri Tuesday night (June 17) or early Wednesday. Should the execution of Marcus Wellons go forward at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday in Georgia, it would be that states first lethal injection using a drug not federally approved. Thats the result of a scramble by Georgia and other states in recent months to obtain drugs necessary for executions.
Mississippi prison officials have obtained new supplies of execution drugs, which could allow the state to carry out lethal injections after some other drugs expired, they said in court papers.

By Susan J. Matthees -. A new development in the ongoing battle involving sodium thiopental, one of the drugs used for lethal injections, surfaced today when the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) seized Georgias supply of the drug. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a DEA spokesperson confirmed that the drug had been seized and stated that [t]here were questions about the way the drugs were imported. DEA did not make any further statements.. As we reported two weeks ago, attorney John Bentivoglio sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder alleging that Georgia violated the Controlled Substances Act by importing sodium thiopental. Inmates in 3 other states have sued FDA over the allegedly illegal importation of the drug from Europe. ...
Then recently I read that the State of Missouri intended to use PROPOFOL as the lethal injection for executions! Im a biochemical engineer, I know that almost anything can kill. If you mix an ounce of vodka in orange juice, thats Mimosa, a drink I had over the weekend in DC. However, if you swallowed a whole bottle of vodka, youll die. So, clearly, they will intravenously feed a lot more propofol into the victim. Yet, it was definitely shocking to read that my wife could have died from what is being considered by the justice enforcement community to execute criminals. Propofol is medically administered 50 million times annually in the U.S. Scarily enough, there is recreational use, for Propofol produces mild euphoria ...

Montgomery suffered from bipolar disorder, epilepsy of the temporal lobe, post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorder, psychosis, traumatic cerebral lesions and probably also from foetal alcohol syndrome (a permanent disability that manifests itself in the foetus exposed, during intrauterine life, to alcohol consumed by the mother during pregnancy).. Her own family has a history of mental disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression.. According to the courts documents and investigations, the woman was abused by her mother in extreme and sadistic ways through physical and psychological violence. Regular sexual abuses by her step-father and other men, both individually and in group, must be added to the picture.. Some statements by Montgomery in the months preceding the murder are further evidence of her mental state: the woman repeated she was pregnant, without realizing it was not possible, since she had been forced to undergo sterilization after the birth of her ...
It is still not known how he got the Benadryl into their system or the exact cause of death, with the Medical Examiner only providing part of the toxicology report..

A man arrested after a South Lebanon murder could face the death penalty pending an aggravated murder conviction, the Warren County prosecutor said Monday.
REP. SHEILA JACKSON-LEE: Well, I dont know his direct opinion on it. I believe that his support of the death penalty is with qualifications. Certainly, I think that he understands the need for protection of the mentally ill, the young, a lot of different problems with the death penalty. My view is, of the death penalty, is that I believe we need to have a Supreme Court to revisit the question and to find in America a provision nationwide for parole - for imprisonment with life, if you will, without parole. But I think if we dont get Senator Barack Obama, we will not have the opportunity to select Supreme Court judges who will actually review the death penalty and come to where many of us might want it to be. I have seen in Texas, if you will, unparalleled executions, people who I fought to prevent their execution. Im ready for a Supreme Court to make a distinction and a difference, and we can only get that done with Senator Barack Obama as president of the United States. AMY GOODMAN: Texas ...
A Texas man was charged today with murdering his estranged wife and her unborn child, a capital murder charge that carries the death penalty.

As of the time this article was written, Middletons fate had not been decided yet. After the stay was issued, early on Wednesday, the appeals court overturned it. The appeal had been filed by Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster, with the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. That court was adjourned for the evening, before it could issue a decision. Then, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to overturn the decision of the appeals court and also did not want to stop the execution from taking place. Several reasons to halt it had been cited by Middletons legal team, including the fact that he had not committed the crimes he was sentenced for. As such, as of this writing, if the stay is lifted, Middleton could be executed at any time on Wednesday.. Then, the attorneys of the Missouri death row convict returned to Judge Perrys court, to see her grant a second stay. It is likely that this second stay will also be appealed by the District Attorney, yet, no matter how the appeals court rules, the ...

The other death penalty victim, Lawrence Russell Brewer, was until this week the more significant convicted murderer. Brewer was one of the racist goons who in-famously tied James Byrd to the back of their truck and dragged him to death in Texas.. The case became a touchstone in the 2000 presidential race because then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush had refused to sign a hate crimes law. The NAACP ran a reprehensible ad during the presidential election trying to insinuate that Bush somehow shared responsibility for the act.. Regardless, Brewer claimed that he was innocent because one of his buddies had cut Byrds throat before they dragged his body around. Forensic evidence directly contradicted this. Brewers own statements didnt help either. Such as, As far as any regrets, no, I have no regrets. ... Id do it all over again, to tell you the truth.. Brewer, festooned with tattoos depicting KKK symbols and burning crosses, was not a sympathetic person in the words of Gloria Rubac of the ...
