It sounds to me like an elephant tranquilizer could just put this whole problem to a screeching halt...
Seriously, if they're worried that the anethsetic will not properly function why can't they use something more strong or 'effective'?

In all seriousness, I take a Michel Foucault approach to punishment. I don't believe in cruel and unusual punishments. Such actions on the part of the state undermine the roles of institution of formal social control and punishment.
If the man is found to be medically incapable of lethal injection, they need to make adjustments. If he's just trying to get out of it and he's capable of lethal injection, stick it to him.

Y'all have to watch this from The Onion:
"Supreme Court rules death penalty is totally badass"

I like it best where she says something like "This marks the Roberts court as less strictly constitutional and more strictly awesome."

I used to think that too. I think though they are fed pretty well (3 meals a day) which is more than poor families probably eat per day that haven't broken the law to get into prison.

while putting the fattie on a diet would work, that costa money, and taxpayer money at that, right?
i dont want to pay for some rapist killer to get just in shape enough to die. take that sucker out. he's just using up resources at this point.
from a law perspective, can someone answer why it takes so long to perform an execution? this happened 20+ years ago.

Surely if large animals such as Derby horses and zoo creatures can be euthanized humanely, some concoction can be administered to this overweight murderer.
