TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA – Dustin Honken filed one more unsuccessful court appeal today to escape his long-overdue lethal drug injection, begging the court that the pain from his death would be too much to bear.
The D.C. Circuit court today shot down Dustin Honken’s appeal to delay his execution set for 3:00 PM today. The court document, filed yesterday July 16 and denied today, says Honken virtually got on his knees and pleaded for mercy to the court:
Mr. Honken’s claim chiefly involves scientific evidence describing a “virtual medical certainty” that the injection of pentobarbital will immediately cause the prisoner to experience pulmonary edema. With the pentobarbital dosage “insufficient to ablate awareness” and “the sensations of pain.” Plaintiffs will consciously feel themselves suffocate as fluid rapidly floods their lungs and their airways swell shut. The resulting pain will be “one of the most powerful, excruciating feelings known to man”—akin to the experience of drowning or being waterboarded.
Honken’s execution will be the third federal execution this week. He’s 52 years old.
Patiently waiting for 3:00.
Cry me a river you pos. I hope it IS painful.. you deserve it. Beg on your hands and knees…did you show YOUR victims any mercy..those kids? You coward..I hope you choke to death!
The criminals have more rights than the victims.
I feel it is wrong that this piece of crap gets to die peacefully and painlessly, in his sleep. I feel that he should get to “experience” what his victims did.
I don’t suppose those little girls died peacefully and painlessly in their sleep, they were shot in the back of the head. What about Terry, head beaten in with a baseball bat, then shot.
He shouldn’t have it any better than they did.
Pentobarbital wird auch in der Sterbehilfe eingesetzt.Es wird gewählt von unheilbar erkrankten Menschen, die aus dem Leben scheiden möchten und wird empfohlen von Sterbehilfe Organisationen. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass in solchen Fällen ein Mittel gewählt wird, was Begleiterscheinungen bringt, die Herr Honken befürchtet.
Ich habe von Herrn Honken gelesen, dass er bereit ist, zu seinem Schöpfer zu gehen und die Todesstrafe nicht fürchtet. Warum bittet er dann jetzt um Gnade?
Ich denke an die Opfer,vor allem an die beiden Kinder.Herr Honken soll ausgezeichnete Anwälte gehabt haben.
I just ran this through google translate.
Pentobarbital is also used in euthanasia. It is chosen by terminally ill people who want to leave life and is recommended by euthanasia organizations. I cannot imagine that in such cases a means will be chosen which will have side effects which Mr Honken fears.
I read from Mr. Honken that he is ready to go to his creator and is not afraid of the death penalty. Then why is he now asking for mercy?
I think of the victims, especially the two children, and Mr. Honken is said to have had excellent lawyers.
Thank you.
This is the same drug given to animals to euthanize them. If you have ever had to put your pet down, they quickly go to sleep, and the breathing slows until it stops. It is over quickly and actually peacefully. Dustin deserves worse.
Fry you mfer and go straight to Hell!!!
