MODERATORS
 

Ohio politicians may be poised to consider whether the state might break its unofficial moratorium on the death penalty by following Alabama in using nitrogen gas to execute inmates.

Ohio hasn’t executed anyone since 2018. In 2020, Republican Gov. Mike DeWine declared lethal injection “no longer an option,” citing a federal judge’s ruling that the protocol could cause inmates “severe pain and needless suffering.”

Republican state Attorney General Dave Yost scheduled a news conference Tuesday to discuss “next steps to kickstart” Ohio’s capital punishment system. He has expressed support for the nitrogen gas method used for the first time in Alabama last week, when convicted murderer Kenneth Eugene Smith, 58, was put to death with nitrogen gas administered through a face mask to deprive him of oxygen.

His wife and lawyers watched him be tortured for 22 min (likely was longer as the time of death was called 15 min after the curtain was pulled.) are you saying they deserved to see that as well? And before you say, "they chose to be there." it's important that they were to ensure the condemned persons constitutional rights were honored. And spoiler alert, they weren't.

The condemned person in this case should not have constitutional rights. They should not have any rights. They gave up these rights when they decided that ending a woman's life by brutally stabbing her to death was an acceptable action to take in order to make some money.
