Arizona ‘refurbishes’ its gas chamber to prepare for executions, documents reveal
(The corrections department has spent more than $2,000 on ingredients to make cyanide gas, the same used inAuschwitz)
… The preparation of cyanide gas executions presents Arizona death row inmates with a Hobson’s choice between two questionable ways to die. Should they opt for the gas chamber, they should be mindful of the last time anybody was gassed by the state.
Walter LaGrand, aGermannational, was sentenced to death for a 1982 bungled armed bank robbery in which a man was killed. The Tucson Citizen published an eyewitness account of his 1999[1999] execution in which he displayed “agonizing choking and gagging” and took18minutes [6 + 6 + 6] to die.
“The witness room fell silent as a mist of gasrose,much like steam in ashower, and Walter LaGrand became enveloped in a cloud of cyanide vapor,” the Citizen reported. “He began coughing violently – three or four loud hacks – and made a gagging sound before falling forward.”
The newspaper recorded that over many minutes the inmate’s head and arms twitched, and hishandswere“redand clenched”.
Should an inmate choose death by lethal injection – the method widely deployed among death penalty states as the supposedly scientific and humane alternative to gas, electric chair or firing squad – they will also find the last time it was used in Arizona it was anything but humane.
Joseph Wood took almost two hours to die when Arizona experimented on him with 15 doses [5:5:5] of a then little-used concoction of lethal injection drugs. An eye witness told the Guardian that he counted Wood gasp and gulp =66== 0 times. [660]
