The multiple injustices of Manuel Valle's death penalty   Updated at 9:21 PM
   

The multiple injustices of Manuel Valle's death penalty
Florida's determination to execute a man with an untried lethal drug, after botched trials, is a tragic mockery of legal process

Sophie Walker
guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 28 September 2011


The three decades Manuel Valle has spent on death row in Florida are set to dwindle to their final minutes this afternoon. At around 4pm local time (9pm GMT) – barring any last minute stays -–"the primary executioner will adminster the lethal chemicals" into Mr Valle's bloodstream, as set out in the state's execution protocol.

While there has been a range of international opposition to the execution of Manuel Valle – including the Catholic Church, the European Union, the Spanish government, British members of parliament and the Washington-DC based Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, to name a few – we haven't heard as much about Manuel Valle as we did about Troy Davis in recent weeks, but this should not be taken as meaning either that the former is undeserving of such attention or that the latter was overhyped. Both cases provide glaring examples of the inadequacies and inhumanities of the US death penalty system, and both highlight the sad fact that public attention – and outrage – often comes too late to change the outcome.

Manuel Valle has been unlucky enough to unite in one case a great number of the failures of the US capital system. Subjected to repeated miscarriages of justice resulting in multiple retrials, then held under the Damoclean sword of the death penalty for an unimaginable 33 years, he was finally picked earlier this year, in an apparently arbitrary manner, by Florida's governor, Rick Scott, to be the first execution of his term of office.

In many countries around the world, such treatment would be considered cruel, inhuman, even torture. For example, Floridians might be shocked to learn that Uganda takes a more enlightened attitude on this issue than their state, commuting sentences to life imprisonment after the prisoner has been held for three years under the threat of imminent execution. Sadly for Mr Valle, arguments that the torture of three decades spent in the shadow of death is punishment enough have not been heeded. ........(more)

I read on Faux Snooze ealier today about an Iranian man being executed for the crime of being a Christian, not a single mention of it on DU.
A cop killer gets them all teary eyed.  :mental:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I do agree with the DUmmies that 30 years on death row is far, far too long. 

And hey, if untried lethal injection drugs are unacceptable, a tried and true piece of rope could do the trick just as well...

I think every state should use d-CON.

It's American made, and proven effective.

 :lol: ^5 Gobucks!  :lmao:

Enough of this lethal injection balloney. We're not talking about some unwanted puppy being "put to sleep".
I am all for the electric chair. If I lived near a prison and my reading lamp browned out a bit every now and then I wouldn't mind it a bit. In fact it would make me feel all warm and fuzzy  :-).

Florida still has the electric chair. I don't mean like in a museum somewhere, they still have it on the books as a currently (hey, I made a funny) viable option for carrying out executions. In fact they've even built a new one. I like the fact that they retained the electric apparatus from the original 1923 model, "Old Sparkie". You know, "keepin' it reelz" and all that.

Lethal Injection is entirely too humane for the death penalty.  You put your pet to sleep, not a cop killer.  One bullet is cheap enough.  Let's just get it done.  I agree completely with CR.  30 years is WAY too long on Death Row.  Way too long.

The rope is reusable, doesn't waste precious electricity, and is pretty effective.  One stout length of rope could probably take care of a few thousand hangings before it needs to be replaced.
