Wasn't it botched terribly and it took like 30 minutes for the dude to die?

In any case, capital punishment has gotten too elaborate. Hanging or firing squad. It doesn't have to be complicated.

I was thinking today just some fentanyl. Back then just stick a needle in an artery, letting him bleed out not too painful.
