Do you feel sorry for them?

McALESTER, Okla. (AP) — A botched execution that used a new drug combination left an Oklahoma inmate writhing and clenching his teeth on the gurney Tuesday, leading prison officials to halt the proceedings before the inmate's eventual death from a heart attack.http://news.yahoo.com/oklahoma-inmat...005638821.html

A four-time felon, Lockett was convicted of shooting 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman with a sawed-off shotgun and watching as two accomplices buried her alive in rural Kay County in 1999 after Neiman and a friend arrived at a home the men were robbing.

Warner had been scheduled to be put to death two hours later in the same room and on the same gurney. The 46-year-old was convicted of raping and killing his roommate's 11-month-old daughter in 1997. He has maintained his innocence.

Lockett and Warner had sued the state for refusing to disclose details about the execution drugs, including where Oklahoma obtained them.

let them suffer

they seem to be getting a lot of sympathy

The death penalty is archaic and should be banned.

They should be careful about the execution proceedings. Although I still can't bring myself to oppose death penalty.

Really? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion but I think the law is too soft and more people should be put to death. I hate the idea of somebody living life in prison enjoying the comfort of shelter, food and entertainment, which is payed for by innocent civilians, that of which could be given to more deserving people who haven't set out to intentionally take away someone else's life.

It actually costs more to execute an inmate than it does to imprison them for life.

I wasn't aware of that!!!

I suppose then it makes more sense to keep them in jail. Although they shouldn't be getting so many privileges.

yeah he isn't getting any sympathy from me. Should have thought of the consequences before he buried a teenage girl alive. I'm so happy that the death penalty exists in the US.

I only feel bad because of the way he died. People argue for the death penalty and lethal injection because it's more humane, but making someone suffer for an hour is not okay.

The death penalty is just

I feel like someone eventually dying from the death penalty is a success.

I'm not gonna feel sorry for him considering his crime, he deserved to suffer.

Death penalty is wrong period.

The death penalty is kind of a mess but eek @ those crimes.

sounds like he got what was coming to him. I see no problems.

The death penalty shouldn't be a thing.
Let them rot in prison.

struggling to have sympathy considering his crimes. I wish we had the death penalty for aggravated murder here in Australia.
