SHOOT HIM!!!!
sometimes there is merit in the singapore system - hang him..and the job is done
try suing our judiciary!!!!
A MAN on death row in Ohio is suing the state on grounds that due to his obesity he would suffer unduly during lethal injection, the Ohio Attorney General's office said on Tuesday.
'He will argue that he is so overweight that he has poor veins, and his attorneys are questioning whether or not a lethal injection will be sufficient to cause death,' Mr Jim Gravelle, a spokesman for the Ohio Attorney General, told AFP.
Richard Cooey, 41, was sentenced to death for the 1986 murder and rape of two female college students. His execution, delayed once before in 2003, is scheduled for October 14.
At 1.73m, Cooey weighed 125kg in May and has gained weight since, prison officials told The Columbus Dispatch.
Attorneys for Cooey filed a lawsuit in a federal court on Friday saying that due to his weight, poor veins and medication he takes for seizures and migraine headaches, he could suffer 'unnecessary pain in the execution of the death sentence,' the paper said.
Lethal injection would violate Cooey's rights under the US constitution which protects against cruel and unusual punishment, his lawyers argued.
'We will sit with our client, the Department of Corrections, and discuss the file he has made and then decide on a course of action, probably within a month,' Mr Gravelle said.
