Botched Execution

In Oklahoma, Clayton Lockett was sentenced to death, but instead survived. After 20 minutes, the execution was stopped Tuesday evening. According to an official, one of his veins ruptured, which prevented the drugs from taking a full effect. The man later died from a heart attack less than an hour later. Lockett was sentenced to death for shooting a 19 year old, and watched her buried alive in 1999. According to witnesses present at the execution it was a "horrible thing to witness." Lockett was given a sedative, then 10 minutes later became unconscious. Three minutes after the lethal drugs were injected, the man started to writhe and breathe heavily. A local journalist that was present reported that his arms and legs were moving, his head was straining, and was mumbling "as if trying to talk."
