All of the experts agree if the first drug doesn't work, the execution is going to be excruciating," Cooey's public defender, Kelly Culshaw Schneider, said Monday.

*Um, Bet it wont nearly as much as being raped and murdered

All I have to say is I don't think executions for rape and murder should be painless. I hope it hurts like hell...

I have a solution, starve him for a few weeks before the execution... PROBLEM SOLVED, in every way

Cn you say "guillotine?"

How about we don't feed the creep until the October execution. He should be nice and thin by then.

[Jessika]

He's going to die anyway, right? So give him a higher dose, duuuuuh!

[critter crazy]

If he is too fat to be lethally injected, then just shoot him, hang him, decapitate him or electrocute him! Problem solved!! After murdering two young women, he gets no sympathy from me! He needs to die, and if he has to go in an excruciatingly painful way, so what??? Who cares?? i am sure the parents of those two girls don't!!

[sparks19]

yeah unbelieveable that after the crime he committed he can honestly claim that it will hurt him too much. PUHLEASE.... obviously he didn't think about how much his actions hurt those little girls OR their family.

If this goes through I have officially lost all faith in justice and hope that no parent that chooses vigilante justice is punished because the justice system obviously doesn't work.

How exactly did he put on so much weight and become obese in prison? perhaps they should force him out of his cell to work out so that won't be an issue.

GO BACK TO PRISON FARMS. He wouldn't be too overweight then.

ETA: awwww... his migraine meds might interfere. Well... I guess it's time to stop giving him the meds and let him suffer his migraines.

sorry but you take the rights of another human being away (their LIFE) you don't deserve to have your rights intact IMO. You take a life from someone else you should forfeit your rights as you are NOT a human being.

Infuriating.

Was he too fat to rape and murder - I think not.

I'm sorry, but this painful execution excuse doesn't work for me. These people didn't stop to think about the victims - why should anyone worry about them?

[molucass]

I agree he should be put to death.. Who cares if the first drugs effectiveness is lessened and he will feel more of the pain.. It should be excruitiating for him.. He raped and murdered 2 women and didn't care about the pain he put them through... Make him feel some pain.. If they can't use this method, electrocute him, or hang his fat @$$.. If he hangs, his weight won't be a problem.. It will be over with quicker.
I hope his claim is rejected.

What I have to say as others did is how did he get so fat in prison? Do they get to eat as much as they want? And he doesn't do anything so he just gains weight? Something is wrong with this scenario. He rapes and kills two girls - he goes to prison where he eats all the time and obviously doesn't do anything to taxing to wear off the calories. And then we worry about the pain he might be under if the medicine doesn't work right with his other meds? So easy to fix - put him on a diet, an exercise program, give him some real work to do, stop the meds for his headaches long enough before the execution so they will no longer be a problem. (what difference if he has a few headaches before he dies).

Again, HE might feel pain? Not only did those girls feel a lot of physical pain as he raped and killed them but the unending pain he has brought to their families who not only have to live without these girls but the thoughts of how they died has to be terrible.

He certainly did not act humanely - why should he expect humane treatment!

I can never understand anyone being overweight in prison. Unless he's taking food from fellow inmates or working in the kitchen, it seems kinda hard to do.

I have to say that his claim is ridiculous and I can't believe he received any kind of recognition for saying this. If he can live in the USA(jail or not), do everything else like normal thin people, and, commit a crime like he did, he deserves to be put to death, just like anyone else. What is he thinking??

Take him off his migraine meds and up the dosage to equal his weight. I really think this whole thing was done to gain attention. It seems so stupid.

The link didn't open for me, but I read the article here....

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/n...,0,90159.story


This article says that another inmate's appeal for the same reasons was turned down & he was executed 2 years ago.

Towards the end of my chemo sessions, my arm veins gave out & they
had to use a vein in my leg. Believe me they will find a way to make it
work. He deserves no special treatment at all for his horrible crimes.

Wanted to add, before and when me and hubby got married, he worked as a prison guard and well as the swat team.

He said they get 4 course meals 3 times a day. They can also buy as many snacks as they want once a day from the commensary (complete with jumbo burritos, bags of chips, candy and those tub soups.)

The minimum security get snacks for free.

AND he worked in a maximum security prison, in the maximum security unit...which means not only have these people murdered, they have been violent in other prisons. They were locked down 23 hours a day... And they still get all of these amenities.

Yup -- some inmates are treated better than most families on welfare. Free room and board, free food, plus you can even get a college degree in prison!!! Please don't think that I'm saying that some people can't change because I know in my heart people can and DO change, but I don't pity any inmates -- first off, for the reasons they ended up there, and secondly, they probably eat more food a day than I do, and MY tax dollars are paying for it.

[Daisy and Delilah]

WOW!!! That's alot of food available. I figured they got three meals and that was it. I guess the family members could bring food in too.

[sparks19]

I have said it before and I will say it again....

GO BACK TO FARM PRISONS.

Make these jerk off inmates WORK for their keep. Make them work and provide a service. I am so SICK of people saying it is cruel to make them work for less than minimum wage.

WORK... under the watchful eye or fully armed guards and at the first sign of disturbance you will be shot and killed... PERIOD.

Sorry... you kill someone in cold blood... you rape someone... you forfeit your rights... PERIOD.
