The 65-year-old shook, pulled against restraints and gasped for breath for several minutes before dying, journalists who witnessed the execution said.

More barbaric torture. The death penalty is an embarrassment and should be outlawed.
Abolish capital punishment
- I have to agree, if only because the Southern states just use it as a legal way to kill black people.
  
  If we could actually do it fairly it would be a possible option, but the way things are, it's just lynching with more steps.
  
  Capital punishment is not an option, ever. Life in prison is the more severe punishment. The government should not be murdering people in an act of revenge.
  
  There's a reason why every other developed country in the world has abolished the practice. It's downright disgusting.
