Alabama’s Human Guinea Pigs: Burning People Alive on Death Row

Alabama’s last execution may have burned a man alive because the “consciousness assessment” it administers is about as scientific as someone jostling you when you nod off on the sofa.

This is clear from the firsthand account of Ms. Terry Deep, a federal investigator who witnessed the execution of Christopher Brooks at Holman Prison in Atmore, Alabama on January 21, 2016.

Ms. Deep signed a sworn affidavit attached as an exhibit to an April 15, 2016 court filing in the case of Ronald Bert Smith detailing these observations; Mr. Smith is scheduled for execution in Alabama on December 8, 2016, and his federal defenders also represented Christopher Brooks.

3. Electricity is a mystery, I guess.

Florida did the same thing a few years back, caught some guy on fire, had to fix the wiring and go again. Of course, death penalty fans were happy, said all criminals should be tortured in similar fashion. By the way, if you favor executions, please call yoursef something other than a Democrat. Republican would be my suggestion.
