    True story.

    That being said it has got to be perfectly clear that the soul that is being taken is guilty of said crime. This day and age we have more cut and dry cases where it should be imposed.

    Kill a child or a LEO and it should be mandatory
    You kill someone, we kill you right back
    Pretty simple concept

    Correct! And a public hanging would be a much more effective means of deterrence.

    Imagine getting convicted of killing somebody with a hammer and at your trail the judge sets your death date two weeks from the trail with death being by hammer

    I agree 100%. If you did it quick you would see the murder rate plummet! It has really got out of hand with all this gang bs.

    I agree

    Problem I see with it is time it takes to execute someone , to me that it is why it really is not a deterrent

    If used fairly quickly in these cut and dry cases it would at least get attention but probably never be a deterrent

    Now the big question

    Could you be involved in the process to do the execution

    Part of that reason is b/c of the lack of the drug and fear that folks will find out which big pharma is supplying it. Now that those details have been worked out and the electric chair and firing squad are "approved" again, may SC can get something done. The appeals process also drags the cases out forever. I'd like to know who's paying the lawyers.

    Freddie Eugene Owens, 46, is set to be the first person to be executed in South Carolina in 13 years. His lawyer chose lethal injection over the firing squad or electric chair after Owens turned the decision over to her.

    Owens is being sent to the death chamber for the killing of Greenville convenience store clerk Irene Graves in 1997. While awaiting sentencing after being found guilty in her death, Owens killed a fellow jail inmate in a brutal attack, authorities said, Prosecutors read Owens' confession before the two juries and judge who decided he should die. He was never tried in the inmate's death.

    Cut and dry. Yes, immediately. ie Susan Smith, among others, who are looking for parole. She did what she did.
    Should have been gone long ago.

    Gathering facts and determining whodunnit. Take some time, but when the facts come out, let her rip.

    And spending a gazillion years on "death row" is ridiculous.

    An eye for an eye.

    However, I will say, The Innocence Project has helped many wrongfully accused individuals get off The Row.

    It kinda sucks when your life can literally depend on a jury, media, lawyers, and shitty circumstances.

    The controversy is bullshit. They keep pitching about the drug to be used May or may not give instant results. BS. Borrow, with no intention of giving it back, some of the fentanyl inthe dam. Evidence room and give the sorry basters the ride of there life

    I don't think a half ounce of fentanyl rectally would be inhumane.
