In the commentary on the article entitled, "The first use of Pentobarbital on a Texas inmate," the author states how this drug was just recently used on an inmate named Cary Kerr who raped and killed a woman in Fort Worth, Texas. He was denied both and appeal and clemency and was sentenced to die on May 2, 2011. Kerr objected to being the so-called "guinea pig" and claims that it is unfair to be volunteered for such an experiment. The reason that the switch was made from one drug to the other was because of the lack of enough sodium lithiopental, the previous drug that had been used for executions.
I completely agree with Anabel when she says that Kerr sounds completely ridiculous when he is pleading his case saying that it isn't fair to be treated with this new drug. Well obviously, life isn't fair especially for the lady he had previously raped and killed. In my opinion, we do inmates on death row a favor by giving them lethal injection. If I were in charge, I would make it so that they would have to suffer through their execution just like their victims had to. Many of the people on death row are lucky to live as long as they do when they commit such disgusting crimes. Thank god they don't have a choice in any of this.
