Oklahoma Inmate Dies Vomiting And Convulsing In First State Execution Since 2015
As if a smoothly run state murder isn’t inhumane enough, the state of Oklahoma can’t even execute someone without turning it into a complete horror show:
Condemned Oklahoma prisoner John Grant convulsed and vomited before dying from a cocktail of drugs on Thursday as the state conducted its first execution in years despite questions about its lethal injection protocol, a witness to the death reported.
It was Oklahoma’s first execution since three botched attempts – including one that was called off because the wrong drug had been supplied – led to a halt in 2015.
The three-drug cocktail is meant to first render the recipient unconscious and unable to feel pain, followed by others that lead to death. But a media witness said Grant convulsed two dozen times and vomited before dying.
“As the drugs began to flow, the first drug, midazolam, he exhaled deeply,” Sean Murphy said in a news briefing posted online. “He began convulsing, about two dozen times, full body convulsions.”
Vomit covered his face until a prison official wiped it off, Murphy said.
Only in the USA, the “greatest” nation on earth.
