Angel Diaz

I was watching the execution of Angel Diaz by lethal injection which took 34 minutes before he expired. Well, there was a state of shock when experts said that death by lethal injection would only take a few minutes. However, in the programme, the execution took too long and capital punishment in Florida was stopped until further investigation.


The thing is that by the 8th Amendment to the Constitution stated that any cruel and inhuman treatment to anyone is banned. The question is how people living in the United States still use capital punishment? You can say that those people who are going through the execution process is justified because they killed people - They took other peopleś life. My question is: How sure are you? Just imagine one man - Angel Diaz, was imprisoned for 27 years before he was put to death. In the programme, he was actually tortured before he passed away. What? Can you do that to anyone?

That is so inhuman! I do not understand the whole process but I surely know that it is not a pretty sight. I really hope that capital punishment is banned...
