Why didn't they use the ususal cocktail in this execution?

[Whiskey 7]

A convicted murderer in the United States struggled and gasped for air for at least 10 minutes in a prolonged execution using a controversial new drug cocktail, witnesses say.

I just wonder why they chose to use a new mixture instead of the usual cocktail in this execution?
Surely the aim is to cause death quickly and with as little pain as possible.
Torture before death just doesn't belong in our society, surely.

I jokingly said they should try this stuff on animals but then?

Discuss the tribulations of execution by injection in less than 50 words.

The method was adopted after supplies of a previously used drug, the powerful sedative pentobarbital, dried up because the manufacturer declared it off limits for capital punishment.

Thank you obsidian. I did miss that

I like this bit......

In pressing for the execution to go ahead, state Assistant Attorney General Thomas Madden had argued that while the U.S. constitution bans cruel and unusual punishment, "you're not entitled to a pain-free execution."

lol at the above quote.
we all vigilantes in the end ey.

When they announced the rule of not supplying the US prison industry with the stuff they use for lethal injections i was sceptical... figured it was more of a symbolic move than anything else. Surely it would take about a week before a chemical company in the US stepped in and become the supplier i thought. Susprised that doesn't seem to be the case and some states have simply used up their supply and now resort to this kind of bullshit.

Maybe the euro companies have exclusive rights to produce the stuff or something?

My wife said there are plenty of drugs readily available that can painlessly kill ppl...

Yes, reading in this mornings paper and a similar article.
I don't blame the drug companies at all for they primarily make drugs to better peoples' lives don't they.
And I was surprised to learn the world wide statistics on capital punishment.

Are you saying one should be cautious about committing murder or rape when visiting a certain country?

well you know how things are done on the government level. It's not just about getting it done... whatever the solution to this odd situation, it will have to be tested and approved and scrutinized in which ever way. supplier, methods... will prolly have to be scrutinized in a good 'ol 'over the top' american fashion.
