Ohio State is thinking of new ways to administer lethal drugs to death row inmates, since the last execution failed. A representative of the prison states another way is injecting into the bone marrow or muscle. These suggestions just might be a backup plan for the old traditional intravenous injection style. Romell Broom couldn’t even be executed do to the fact of not being able to find a suitable vein. This execution is now on hold until a federal court hearing takes place on November 30th. The governor of Ohio has issued a reprieve for two other death-row inmates until the study of this execution procedure has had more time for evaluation. Governor Ted Strickland ordered a five month reprieves to give the prisons department adequate time to update their rules regulations on dealing with long periods of time when they can’t find a sufficient vein on a prisoner. As of date, thirty five of the fifty U.S. states have the death penalty, Texas is the most active in this. Ohio has put thirty two men to death since the year 1999.
I am a bit overwhelmed reading the sympathy of these people that have created heinous crimes against their fellow human beings. I as a mother can’t in any manner understand or comprehend what a family member of a victim would feel like knowing this person that created such horrific crimes against my child, mother, sister, father or spouse could get sympathy from the justice system.
Horrible murders such as John Allen Muhammad that frightened the Washington area or Darryl Durr was scheduled to executed next month for strangling and raping a sixteen year old girl, Angel O’Nan in 1988. These facts are www.usatoday.com is letting everyone out there know that these heinous crimes that are constantly being committed are allowed by our stringent justice system. This article hit home so closely because I lived in Olathe, Kansas my teen age life and my best friends sister was tragically murdered she was but a young girl coming home from school and her psycho killer was waiting in her closet and stabbed this girl over one hundred times. This murder was up for parole several years ago and I seen my friends mom sitting in the audience making sure her daughters voice is still heard. Although she and many other family members try to make their loved ones voice or life itself be heard, do they make a difference? Is it for your heart sake and nothing more? Are they talking to the wall of justice to only be heard by a mute ear?
I have always believed and was taught to believe that the United States Justice System is fair, as we grow up in life and reality sets in I think we all see the true light of our justice system. From mass murders, to psychotic killers, to the smallest car wreck or a ticket, the truth of the matter is sometimes it isn’t what you know it is who you know. What happened to the Truth, What happened to the Honor, and last but not least what happened to our Justice?
