This isn't justice, this was torture. In Australia Smith would probably have been released from custody by now, unless there were exceptional circumstances that suggested that he was an ongoing threat to the community. That is true in a lot of countries. Smith's death will not bring Sennett back from the dead, it won't comfort her children (who seem to be glossing over the fact it was Daddy that hired a killer to deal with Mummy).

I grasp that some behaviour in society is completely unacceptable and that the rest of society should not be accountable financially for enabling that behaviour whether incarcerated or not. That does not mean that we have to be brutal about curtailing that behaviour. I had a much-loved dog. She lived to be twenty years old in human years which is quite a feat. Her legs started to cave. I could see in her an embarrassment and sort of a shame that she could no longer support her body to go out to pee or poo. I had to let her go for both her dignity and mine. I was with her when she left this world. It was calm and peaceful. She simply went limp, and she was gone. The point of this long text is that if veterinarians have worked out dignified euthanasia then why can we not extend the same care to people for reasons we don't understand cannot be part of a disciplined society? We do not have to sink to the level of a perpetrator to end the perpetration of agony.

It seems ironic that we are more humane to animals than we are to humans -- until you remember that humans are actually much more evil than animals. Despite their having no sense of morality, animals are morally superior beings to humans. I can't think of a single "evil" animal -- but all I have to do is look around to see many, many evil human beings. So whenever I hear arguments like yours -- "if we can do it for animals, why not humans?" -- my first thought is that you're elevating humans to the same moral level as animals -- which completely ignores the vastly disproportionate evil of humanity.

Your final sentence has me wondering. Who decides the conditions that make sense for human euthanasia? I think allowing it opens a dangerous door we as a society will have trouble putting back because society may eventually decide that conditions allowing euthanasia should be expanded to include, for instance very poor/homeless people, disabled people, or just people who run out of funds to pay for nursing home care in their elder years. I'm an only-child who is still single at 38, with no kids, and not many relatives who are younger than I am. I fear a future society, say around 2060 or so, will decide I am not worth enough to keep around on Earth due to my disabilities costing society more than I make working.

You can Google him, his victim got justice in court and was talked about as much as most other murders. But that's not what this particular story is about. It's about if we're ok with the state being able to torture individuals before executing them. I don't think it's a good thing to have that power. The government should be dispassionate and focused on protecting the public, giving a voice to the victims, but not getting revenge.

During his initial attempted execution, this man dehydrated himself and tried all measures to avoid making injection easy. He refused to make a fist. Fine, can't expect him to cooperate. But, for him to claim that the poking of the needle for failure to find a vein intravenously and then intramuscularly and "excruciating poking from the needles" was inhumane?? He stabbed a woman to death! He never fully accepted his capital sentence. As the AG put it, "he gamed the system for as long as he could," prolonging his life until HE chose the nitrogen gas method. Presumably, he didn't think he would get his choice approved due to his prior "botched" execution, let alone by a never-before-tested method. But, the state used his own defense attorneys' expert witness on euthanasia against him, the expert claiming, "it's a humane way to die!" He also held his breath as long as he could and was told only to drink clear liquids an hour or so before the execution. He didn't eat all day then ate Waffle House smothered in A1, so that he could get sick and choke on his vomit and not breathe in nitrogen, so that it would look inhumane and someone would step in. They knew he was going to be doing this. Unsurprisingly, during his final statement, there was no mention of the victim and no apology to the victim's friends and family or the courts. Just some offensively ironic ravings about "love, peace, and light."

It was my understanding that nitrogen doesn't result in the buildup of co2, so there isn't a carbonic acid response in the body, which makes me wonder if the thrashing and shaking was theatrics, or perhaps a fear response, rather than it being a biological response.
