A Texas man who said his death sentence was based on false and unscientific expert testimony was executed Thursday evening for killing a man during a robbery decades ago.
Brent Ray Brewer, 53, received a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville for the April 1990 death of Robert Laminack. The inmate was pronounced dead at 6:39 p.m. local time, 15 minutes after the chemicals began flowing.
Prosecutors had said Laminack, 66, gave Brewer and his girlfriend a ride to a Salvation Army location in Amarillo when he was stabbed in the neck and robbed of $140.
Brewer’s execution came hours after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to step in over the inmate’s claims that prosecutors had relied on false and discredited expert testimony at his 2009 resentencing trial.
If you’re going to kill someone who killed someone, to show that killing is wrong, the punishment should fit the crime.
Lethal injection, are you fucking kidding me? I know druggies that pay money for that, SMH.
If you’re going to execute someone, the gas chamber should be the only option. Let them feel the amount of anxiety their victims felt when they realized they were going to die a horrible death.
Yiiiikes
Look at his bio…
He has to be a troll. Or a teenager or maybe a seriously out of touch, stunted adult. Super cringeworthy either way.
Lmao this reminds me of my 4chan days
Holy fucking cringe batman 🤮
You’re right, but for the wrong reasons. Lethal injection has been criticized for many things, including not being particularly effective, easily botchable, and difficulty in sourcing the materials.
Asphyxiation through nitrogen, though, is very effective, hard to mess up, and easily available.
Personally, if I had to choose my method, I’d want a firing squad. A half dozen bullets to the brain seems quick and decisive.
If I could choose any way to be executed, it would be to be at the epicenter of a nuclear bomb with enough force to instantly obliterate me. In a moment I exist, and in the other I don’t.
Else, nitrogen is painless and effective.
But you might end up looking like Wenseslao Moguel for the rest of your full life.
Why would you want to kill someone anyway. Youre not doing any good for society. If you really need an explanation for why killing people is wrong something isnt right on your side. The only people that should be killed are those who would pose a liability to society by simply existing(ex.: Ceausescu, Hitler, etc(usually dictators))
