it was an affront
a kind of a barrage
he hadnt imagined and frankly he wondered where hed been to miss something so obvious as an
Irreversible punishment
he neither heard nor read of it before
it was stark
arresting
he came across it as he glanced
a magazine header of an article which elaborated on the Supreme Courts recent
5-4 decision allowing the continued use of midazolam in state executions
Chico Marxs dropdead ringer Justice
Alito wrote for the conservative majority “. . . inmates . . . failed to
identify an available and preferable method of execution and failed to make the
case that (midazolam) entailed a substantial risk
of severe pain”*
crafting his words
despite evidence of three
botched executions where inmates(Dennis McGuire suffered 26 minutes
Clayton Lockett suffered 43 minutes and Joseph Woods suffered 1 hour and 57 minutes) gasped cried out loud
and writhed
until they finally
died
Alito affirmed 10th
District Court Chief Judge Mary Beck Briscoes** prior opinion that while the
procedure was a “procedural disaster” it was “ultimately successful”
stone cold conservatism(psychopaths)
he could suppose one might
also imagine with those words confessed
that a burning at the stake with insufficient wood would not be out of the question
seems far and in-between in
America there are souls who can do their jobs right
Irreversible punishment
a
sobering Law oer the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave
