A reporter's account:

AP reporter's account of Arizona execution - ktar.com

His victims' family's responses put things into perspective though.

When considering the "suffering" of a convicted murderer at the time of execution, as opposed to the suffering of his victims at the time of their murder, the suffering of the murderer will always lose.

More & more I am turning against the death penalty. A civilized society should not have this. It solves nothing.

Sure it does, it get's rid of murderers, rapists and pedophiles. We should use it more often.

A civilized society should have the violent crime that we do either.

I don't see it lowering the violent crime rate, do you?

We just need to go back to hangings or the electric chair. Or find another source for efficient drugs to make it quick. I don't know why the American government needs to rely on European medications to do the job.

Takes a known murderer out of the equation permanently.

ironically, the blood lust crowd wringing their hands with glee at these botched executions, fail to realize the effect it will have is less executions being carried out in the long run.

There was an execution in Ohio and Oklahoma that did not go as planned because of a lack of one of the lethal injection drugs. Maybe they should go back to using the electric chair.

I'm not a death penalty advocate, but have always thought the firing squad was a better way to do it.
