Inmate too sick for execution

UMMMM, seems stupid to me that they can't execute someone because he tried to kill himself.

I never understood why they try and save someone that attempts suicide when they are going to execute them anyway. Or why they'd even care.

Yes that doesn't make a whole hell of a lot sense to me either.

But, but... it wasn't a suicide attempt! right?

I'm assuming it has something to do with preventing lawsuits from his family, though they are gonna have to explain how a death row inmate got pills in the first place. Still sucks, they shoulda just let hinm croak and saved the state whatever it cost.

Yup! Let’s get him healthy so we can kill him...

That's Like refusing heroin to a terminally ill person in severe pain because of the threat of addiction.

Yes, to waste more money on this creep is certainly unconscionable. I agree they should have let this insect die and reported that he was executed.

Same reason they sterilze the lethal injection needle I suppose.

good point

I'm guessing a fellow inmate or relative gave him the pills he took.

Actually...there's a good reason for that. It's not the inmates, but anybody else who comes in contact with the equipment. You don't want the janitor accidentally poking himself with a needle that's been in a few dozen inmates.
