One shot: US state tries new lethal injection

An Ohio man was executed with a new way to kill: a single injection of a drug called "sodium thiopental". The common method of executing death-row inmates was through a three-drug cocktail of sodium pentathol, pancuronium bromide and potassium chloride. But many experts and capital punishment opponents believed the customary process of lethal injection was inhumane because the last two drugs paralyzed the inmate and induced a heart attack. Although the new method administers a sedative to the inmate, thereby seemingly lessening the pain, capital punishment opponents believe it is unconstitutional because the method is still untested and inmates should not be used as test cases for the single-injection method of execution.

@Dani90ZH Stop with this inhuman punishment...

[Dani90ZH]

It is not properly executed, the people, where the proofs were not clear. In our country the death penalty until 1990, was the military penal code. Throughout the period from 1930 to 1990 there were 10 executions and were traitors during World War II. Listen to this inhuman punishment. Long life is hard enough.

@philipsthebest or you could be smart and instead of going from one extreme to the next, put them in jail for life without the possibility of parole, with happens to be cheaper than executing them, by the way
