Whether you agree with it or not, another prisoner was executed first thing this morning in the USA and it seems that he was pronounced dead 10 minutes after the procedure started.
This must be a relief to the authorities following a series of "botched" executions where prisoners have been gasping and snorting for up to an hour during their demise.
Not going to debate the rights and wrongs of the death penalty, we have done that before but surely the authorities have to look at either perfecting a drug that instantly kills the condemned person or offer an alternative method of execution.
