I object to the death penalty on a number of fronts. First, is it being applied fairly? If not then we have a system problem. Secondly, do high profile cases get different treatment? For example, if someone is accused of killing a highly respected businessman are they more or less likely to get the needle? Thirdly, does the race of the assailant matter? What about the race of the victim? Finally, how often are we wrong? How often have to put an innocent man or woman to death? If the answer is never then the system works well. If the answer is sometimes but we don t know the number then that s a problem. I know that all of these questions are related to fairness. Anyway, the supreme court heard arguments about whether lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment earlier this week. Even if the cocktail is painful, the pain only lasts a couple of minutes at most. Hell, getting stuck with a needle is painful. I think that the Supreme Court is missing the point. If we are going to be in the business of executing those that deserve execution then we need people skilled in field of executions. There should be trained personnel that aren t doctors or nurses but something else. They should be the ones that decide what drugs to use. They should be the ones who start the IV and administer the drugs. They should have a couple of a couple of years of training after college. - From NYT: With conservative justices questioning their motives and liberal justices questioning their evidence, opponents of the American manner of capital punishment made little headway Monday in their effort to persuade the Supreme Court that the Constitution requires states to change the way they carry out executions by lethal injection. Donald B. Verrilli Jr., the lawyer for two inmates on Kentucky’s death row who are facing execution by the commonly used three-chemical protocol, conceded that theoretically his clients would have no case if the first drug, a barbiturate used for anesthesia, could be guaranteed to work perfectly by inducing deep unconsciousness.  (more ) capital punishment, conservative justices, cruel and unusual punishment, death penalty, death row, Legal, lethal injection

If you want to get into an argument with a group of people, any group of people, bring up the death penalty. If you play your cards right you get a real fight to break out. Americans don t really have a consensus opinion on the death penalty. So, there is no wonder that we don t agree on lethal injection either. I m not sure that you can say that injecting drugs into someone to kill them is cruel and unusual punishment. Then again, I don t believe that the State should be in the business of killing its own citizens for any reason. Here s the problem that I see. Doctors who make up the cocktail of drugs that are to be given to the prisoner seem to have an ethical dilemma. You can t be in the business of saving lives and relieving suffering if you are actively killing a healthy human being. So, who is going to give the meds? Who should give the meds? - From WaPo: The Supreme Court issued an eleventh-hour stay for a Mississippi murderer scheduled to be put to death last night, the third execution the justices have blocked since agreeing to decide whether lethal injections violate the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The reprieve came less than an hour before Earl Wesley Berry was to be put to death for the kidnapping and murder of Mary Bounds in rural Mississippi in 1987. Death penalty activists and criminal justice experts said the court s action is further evidence of a de facto moratorium on executions until it decides the lethal injection issue. The court itself has not declared such intentions, but its actions in Berry s case were closely watched for clues.
