Texas executes Yokamon Hearn with pentobarbitol
    #16555411 -

The US state of Texas has executed its first death row inmate with a single lethal injection of the sedative pentobarbital.

Yokamon Hearn, 33, was convicted for the carjacking and murder of a Dallas stockbroker in 1998.

Hearn is the sixth inmate to be killed this year in Texas, but the first after the state stopped using a cocktail of three lethal drugs for executions.

Death penalty opponents say inmates die more slowly by the single-drug method.

Hearn previously appealed against his sentence, arguing his mental disabilities and inadequate legal advice early in his case meant he should be spared execution.

Hearn did not show any unusual reactions to the drug, according to reports, and was pronounced dead 25 minutes after the pentobarbital was first administered.

When asked if he wanted to make a final statement, he said: "I'd like to tell my family that I love y'all and I wish y'all well. I'm ready."

Lethal cocktail
Before Wednesday's execution, the three drugs used for court-ordered executions in Texas were: thiopental sodium, to sedate the prisoner; pancuronium bromide to paralyse them; and potassium chloride to stop the heart.
Several states introduced the use of pentobarbital in the face of shortages of thiopental sodium, which was pulled off the market in 2010.

The European Union banned European manufacturers from exporting that drug to the US to prevent it being used in executions. Pentobarbital is also covered by the EU ban.

In Texas, the state chose to switch drugs after its supply of pancuronium bromide expired.

Last year, Ohio became the first US state to use pentobarbital only for executions.
Since then, three other states - Arizona, Washington and Idaho - have switched to a single injection of pentobarbital and a total of 11 executions have been carried out using the practice, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

Separately, the state of Georgia announced on Tuesday that it would immediately switch to using a single injection of pentobarbital in court-ordered executions.

I think that they had "to paralyse them" before was sketchy.
this might be for the better

If we are all going to die, being a prisoner and being administered one of the most sought after euthanasia drugs is miles above dying by blunt force trauma, cancer, infections, heart attack, stroke, spontaneous combustion, ETC. No big fuckin' deal. I am still amazed that there are "shortages" of any synthetic drug that is so commonplace, like sodium thiopental. Get your fucking shit together, usgov.

Why not just injected potassium chloride???

It stops the heart, what else do we need to kill someone?

I'd rather go out with Fentanyl or that Methadone Derivative they use to use for maintenance.

It fucking pisses me off that criminals get the luxury of dying from a peaceful overdose of sodium pentobarbital and terminally/hopelessly ill people have to resort to hanging and jumping off buildings.  Fuck this world.  I'm tired of being alive.

It's probably the most peaceful death available.

I'm not against the death penalty.  I strongly feel the conditions we live in sometimes require  such action.  My biggest qualm with our judicial system lies not with the mistakes it occasionally makes harming innocent or arguably innocent people, but rather it's general ineffectivness at killing the murderers and rapists amongst us.  Lesser forms of filth bother me less but still go wildly unpunished.

a little chlorine bleach, maybe with the fresh citrus scent, injected
before the potassium chloride, like 20 minutes before

So you are just affirming that you will be miserable no matter your physical location is?

I was saying North Long Beach because it's just south and east of Compton; where I grew up.
