On Thursday, January 16 Dennis McGuire was executed at Southern Ohio Correctional Facility.
The prison authorities used a two-drug experimental concoction. It took 26 minutes for the self-confessed rapist and murderer to die.
Tha Catholic chaplain, Fr Lawrence Hummer, who witnessed the death, said: "Towards the end, the gasping faded into small puffs of his mouth. It was much like a fish lying along the shore puffing for that one gasp of air that would allow it to breathe".
This happened 10 days ago in the United States of America.
Yet again another privilege of living in the European Union, where there is no death penalty.
Has President Barack Obama a view on this barbaric behaviour?
