Well, that's fresh
Tired of hearing about how the death penalty constitutes cruel and unusual punishment? One death row inmate is, and is now complaining about how lethal injection violates the first ammendment.
Inmate Donald Beardslee, 61, alleged that the combination of a sedative and a paralyzing agent would mask whether he is experiencing excruciating pain, would prohibit him from crying out and prevent public witnesses to the execution from seeing him contort, a violation of the First Amendment.
I think he has something of a point. I mean, come on, if these dicks are going to stand around and watch you die, you should definitely be able to shout a few obscenities as them as you go, too.
