That’s a good reason as any to abolish it IMO. That was always my big problem with the DP from an early age and viewing of The Green Mile.

Funny, I was thinking of the exact same movie. Specifically the scene where the little prick of a junior guard decides he’s gonna get one over on the inmate by putting a dry sponge on his head during electrocution. I thought of it because that’s the sort of attitude that guys like Erickson have put on display tonight, the idea that execution is supposed to be painful and getting upset over it doesn’t make it any less “right.”
