I don’t believe anything the lawyer has to say regarding Zagorski still respirating. After a 20 second solid electrocution... that dude was _not_ breathing. The lawyer clearly was emotional and has an agenda in this issue, hence she cannot be impartial as an observer. The journalists prior to the lawyer agreed there was no movement. I _highly_ doubt they’re all wrong and she the only one right. SMH

Wiechert determined that the wiring apparatus for the Leuchter built chair was insufficient for conducting an execution. As such, Wiechert rewired the chair and adjusted the voltages.

You mongoloids can't help but always cry out "I bet the victims didn't (fill in the blank)" or "They are forgetting about the victims" or some nonsense about how people feel more sorry than the condemned than the victims. Let me make it easy for you: It's not about the condemned, it's about protecting the integrity of the capital punishment system by reporting on the execution thoroughly, accurately, and with a great amount of detail to the condemned. No, the condemned doesn't usually deserve a quick and easy exit, but our nation has protections against cruel and unusual punishments (torture included) that extend to everyone. If we violated that, the whole system becomes defunct and without integrity. There have been many, many, many detailed reports, accounts, and other forms of media made about the victims. To say that "they are forgotten" just shows how little you understand.

Listen closely to what they say about taking a very alive person into a little room and burning them or injecting chemicals into them that ends up in death. These wardens are all "victims" of state death penalty laws. Many have had nightmares, many have had to have professional help.

No Soyboys and weak people should be hired as hard news reporters. You think law enforcement and prison personnel enjoy certain aspects of this undertaking? Likely not, but they are able to report the results in the expected professional manner. The Nashville Public Radio reporter did a good job.

When you kill an innocent, it is NOT justice to fight for the life of the killer. Killing him IS justice. Death in self defence is not murder - killing a killer IS justice. It should be done within a year - not 8 or 10 years. Him being a "model prisoner" does NOT bring the innocent, dead victim back. No madam, you are WRONG. 😡

The reason for the reporter's halting discourse is that he is shaken and upset by the thought of the judicial killing of a human being, of which he was a witness. He is still shaken and I think disgusted by this appalling, appalling act which took place in the US.

34 YEARS on death row is ridiculous

While it is wrong to systematically take life, the punishment reserved for those facing execution cannot begin to rectify the damage theyve caused by taking their life alone.

More points to consider: 1) Should you watch a human deliberately killed, would you not say several “hums”?? I would…. 2) These three reporters are confirming the view which they had. We want one unified report, don’t we? Better to have three in agreement than one without any confirmation, I’d say. “Uhms” and all. 3) What would be YOUR last words? 4) Do you deny the right of people to care for someone even if they had horribly murdered others? 5) Don’t be so sure that the guards and prison personnel didn’t vomit and say “Uhm” afterwards… Being such a staff would take its toll, as some former executioners and wardens have stated. 6) If you DO kill someone, expect to find out for yourself whether your humor and hatred today still feels deep down good. We may all make grievous mistakes. 7) Be good out there or eat your own vitriol. None of us is an angel.

You will notice that the attorney indicated salient knowledge of the process based upon what “experts” have stated. You can check on these issues yourself and see if you find differing opinions of the process. There are examples of the convicted individuals breathing after the first or even second jolt.

Thanks to the sponsor who made this incomparable experience possible for you, dear viewers. or: The delinquent wears execution fashion by .... at his grand entrance! " You could get even more viewers with other, much more colorful executions such as Quartering or Burning !, that would meet the audience's taste much more precisely! I also miss the cheers of the family of those who were executed, or feel the suffering and pain about their loss. Hard to imagine that the delinquent might have someone to love him.

Um

She is right. If the State executes, it must do it another way. Electrocution is a barbaric cooking. And the injection is a clinical looking procedure for the onlooker but there is evidence now that it is torturous for the condemned person. There needs to be less time between sentence and execution, and a more humane and efficient method employed.
