Lethal Injection a Life Saver?

The satiric look at California's search for lethal injection drugs for capital punishment on last month's "The Colbert Report" was made possible by ACLU attorneys who used open government laws to gain access to documents revealing both the wasteful bureaucracy and ironic contradictions inherent in California's death penalty, as I show in this video.

The clips of Stephen Colbert come from the December 15, 2010, segment of "The Colbert Report" titled "Tiny Triumphs - Lethal Drug Shortage" available online at http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/368731/december-15-201...

The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California provided the clips of Staff Attorney Michael Risher, Staff Attorney Linda Lye, and Death Penalty Policy Director Natasha Minsker especially for this video.

The ACLU of Northern California logo and "Cut This" webpage on the $1 billion cost of California's death penalty is available online at http://aclunc.org/cutthis

@Parasome The needle is steralised beforehand due to the chance the execution could be called off. Its to prevent an infection if It was or is posponed or canceled.

@puncheex LMAO who are you? Why are you drawing me into a conversation I had nearly a year ago. I've moved on man, you should too.

@bigbengamer: So sorry. I didn't know your comment would age so.

The profit comes in after you make it possible to reap one.  You make the death penalty profitable to those needing or supplying organs for the purest of motives, the rest follows.
