@therobbieharvey Fortunately he volunteered.

@MatthewBod17777 @AGSteveMarshall Hyperventilation is caused by anxiety. This is much more human than painted, unless the inmate has COPD, in such case for the sake of the guy other method should be used.

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@MatthewBod17777 @AGSteveMarshall Also do you really want 0 controversies? Use only the pre1900 methods, with apparatus in pristine condition and exhaustive protocols. A jolt to the brain, a snap of the neck or a volley to the heart and you won't discuss vol or invol movements, because dead people don't move

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@MatthewBod17777 @AGSteveMarshall I disagree. Death is horrible, specially natural one. Nitrogen hypoxia is painless and although not a method for everybody, it deserves its place in modern penology.

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@MatthewBod17777 @AGSteveMarshall You may philosophically attack DP as a concept, and that is logical, but piecemeal critics only make antiDP movement look opportunistic. All Lee needed to die quick was breath deeply, literally. And he had THREE options to choose. What do you think of Tremaine Williams exec?

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@MatthewBod17777 @AGSteveMarshall The electric chair exists in AL, and it is literally the most humane way to kill a person ever devised. No physical feelings associated with it, pain or otherwise. And if you speak of singed skin, remember that is happening to a person who at that point basically lacks a brain

@mastasnake176 @death_row0506 @thepalmettoa1 @deathrowpundit @SkoczSteven @bloodyleviath Would I drink alcohol (which I don't) I'd open a bottle of champagne for this execution.

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@mastasnake176 @thepalmettoa1 What I ask is can the USSC uphold NH without granting a hearing no? That is relatively common I think. Terry Jackson in 2011 in VA had lower courts full trials considering him ID and the SC reversed and he was injected without a full appeal heard.

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@mastasnake176 @thepalmettoa1 And if denied (granted without a hearing to be exact), gassings restart this summer. Even if granted, Lee will be injected before the appeal is heard. AL should definitely change the moment of choice, it is becoming a burden instead of a help. Do you think NH can be outlawed?

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@RDunhamDP @NYAmNews @AlabamaArise @eji_org @PHADP @splcenter I for example abhorred Burton's execution but clearly supported Lee's. I think focusing the fight might be a good idea. And centering it on the abominable drug executions instead of murder or rape ones.

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@RDunhamDP @NYAmNews @AlabamaArise @eji_org @PHADP @splcenter Mr. Dunham instead of making DP a divisive issue have you thought about trying to join anti and pro DPs against clearly unjust executions? More lives could be saved and fog would disappear.

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@mastasnake176 @thepalmettoa1 When should we expect news by the way? The SC term ends this month

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@mastasnake176 @thepalmettoa1 Although if an active choice has already been made (all NH I think), they should be offered a change with a very explicit waiver agreeing to change the method IF they renounce any litigation. Same should be done in FL.

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@MatthewBod17777 @AGSteveMarshall He has chosen it. I have no problem with him changing his decision. Yes, AL needs changes to its protocol, but NH is the only fully human non mutilating method and should be protected at all costs

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@AGHamilton29 @RenoCiccotta It should have been done in the Cardennot line or the Ardennes. Although Versailles is hilarious too.

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@mastasnake176 @thepalmettoa1 Literally accepting AL's lifting of the stay had no precedent in all of the US history. Getting rid of it via regular docket is the correct way to do it

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@mastasnake176 @thepalmettoa1 But what I mean the legal way is different no? If he requests a prel injunction, regardless of lower court decisions, the USSC will likely kill any stay if they accepted Lee's for (very well founded) procedural reasons. Worst which can happen is gas resumes next year I guess

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@mastasnake176 @thepalmettoa1 Anyway, if this gets a full USSC hearing, NH will either be upheld, thrown by Bucklew or thrown by LaGrand. Declaring inconstitucional a chosen method with the inmate rejecting available method changes overturns all precedents.

[Javier @jaylonvalprov]

@mastasnake176 @thepalmettoa1 With this said, gassing Taylor or not will depend really on whether the SC has second thoughts on NH or whether they decided to follow very stablished protocol not overturning a full trial via shadow docket.
