My Wife Would Have Thought It Was A Good Night

Oh, the humanity.
Oh, this poor thug.
From the Las Vegas Sun: A condemned man appeared to gasp several times and took an unusually long time to die — almost 25 minutes — in an execution carried out Thursday with a combination of drugs never before tried in the U.S.
An attorney for McGuire's family said it plans to sue the state over what happened. Dayton defense lawyer Jon Paul Rion said the family is deeply disturbed by the execution, which it believes violated his constitutional rights.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2014/jan/16/ohio-killer-executed-new-lethal-drug-combo/
Really, who cares even a little bit what the thug's family thinks or cares about how this thug died.
An agonizing experiment?  Was it any more agonizing than what the thug put the victim through?
And then this: McGuire, 53, made loud snorting noises during one of the longest executions since Ohio resumed capital punishment in 1999. Nearly 25 minutes passed between the time the lethal drugs began flowing and McGuire was pronounced dead at 10:53 a.m.
The guy was snorting?  Sounds like snoring to me and if he only snored for 25 minutes, hell, I put my wife through more snoring than that each night.
And if he was unconscious while snoring, who cares?  The guy was given high amounts of a painkiller, so he didn't feel any pain and was probably pretty high, if had had any feelings.
So, let the family sue.  The guy's life was worth about 1 penny in scrap metal.
And people wonder why lawyers are so hated, it's like idiots like this defense attorney that give lawyers a bad name.
