Execution by firing squad is still legal in Idaho and Oklahoma. It is used as a back-up when for some reason execution by lethal injection can't be used.

That would fit in this case. Have him transferred to Idaho or Oklahoma.

"All of the experts agree if the first drug doesn't work, the execution is going to be excruciating," Cooey's public defender, Kelly Culshaw Schneider, said Monday.

And it wasn't excruciating for the girls he raped?
SHOOT the S.O.B. so that he suffers. By the looks of it he is living too good as it is, at taxpayers expense.

I don't know what it is, but I don't feel any compassion for this overweight, condemned murderer. I trust the ohio department of corrections will find a way to administer these injections. If Mr. Cooey experiences any undo suffering then I think the ohio dept of corrections should take note of that, and try to improve for future executions.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

So I assume that all of you liberals out there preaching about this poor man's rights would feel the same way if it was your mother, daughter, wife or sister that this animal raped and murdered.

In Wilkerson v. Utah, the Supreme Court commented that drawing and quartering, public dissecting, burning alive and disemboweling would constitute cruel and unusual punishment while determining that death by firing squad was legitimate.

Firing squad, gas chamber, electric chair, hanging. I think they all fit for him. After all, the girls didn't have a choice now did they and their life was ended in a fashion that is clearly deemed cruel and unusual.
