Bob Walsh wants to hang them. That beats putting them to sleep like a beloved pet, but I'd rather fry them in "Old Sparky", the electric chair.
OHIO FINDS SUCCESS WITH SIMPLIFIED EXECUTION PROCEDURE

Kenneth Birios was scragged this morning by the State of Ohio using a single-drug system. This is a longer but theoretically less painful death than the three-drug system used earlier.
Brios was sentenced to death for the 1991 murder of a woman. He was dead 45 minutes after entering the death chamber.
Maybe it's just me, but I have what may be a slightly radical notion about this whole thing. I don't think that the state killing a human, or even a quasi-human, should be equated with putting down a sick animal. I truly believe that executions SHOULD BE just a little bit nasty and unpleasant.
Besides, hanging is simple and cheap. It is quick if done properly. It does not involve the medical profession in the process except after the fact. Besides, rope is reusable.
