It took 22 minutes for him to die, with minutes spent thrashing on the gurney. Lethal injection takes 2 minutes ( when they find a vein). A firing squad takes less than 1 second (when they hit the target). Hell, the horrible electrocution from Shawshank Redemption took less than 3 minutes.
Barbaric.
I hope the witnesses saw the prolonged agony and will remember it for the rest of their lives. The whole damn state should be ashamed
