A Bullet to the Back of the Head Would Have Been Better

Joseph Lewis Clark was to be executed by lethal injection in Ohio, but it didn't happen as planned. Mr. Clark had used drugs so much in his past that the executioners couldn't find a vein strong enough to put the IV in. Witnesses said that the executioners had to try over and over to get the IV in. The entire thing took an hour and a half to carry out, which is much longer than usual. Witnesses said Mr. Clark grimaced, cried, and made guttural noises. Hmmm...don't give us Texans any ideas.
