Capital punishment under the current circumstances is unsupportable, even in the case of the worst offenders. The Courts have been shameful in their handling of appeals to determine the actual medications used, quantities, etc., and the , qualifications of those who are administering the drugs.

Add to that the cost of death penalty cases vastly exceeding the costs for life imprisonment without parole, and even fiscal conservatives should be questioning the death penalty because of the costs to the state, and the questionable morality and ethics of executing them with an experimental drug mix that clearly doesn’t work as claimed.
