Per reports, the man, Charles, who was convicted of the r-pe and murder of an 11-month-old girl, was reportedly executed. He was convicted of the first-degree r-pe and murder of his then girlfriend’s 11-month-old daughter. Authorities sentenced him to be executed, but before the injection, the man was asked for his final words to which he responded, “Before I give my final statement, I’ll tell you they poked me five times and it feels like acid.
“I’m sorry for all of the pain I caused,” he continued. “I’m not a monster. I didn’t do everything they said I did. I love people. I love my family. I love Jesus.” He went on to thank his mother and sister for their support, and said to “tell my baby girl she means the world to me.” According to reports, after the first of the three drugs were administered, the convict said, “My body is on fire. No one should go through this. I’m not afraid to die.” He showed no other signs of physical distress afterwards.
He was declared dead at 7:28 p.m CT. Madeline, Charles’ attorney, was there to witness the executions and said that due to a second drug, a paralytic, there was no way to tell if Warner was suffering or not. “Because the officials injected him with a paralytic tonight, acting as a chemical veil, we will never know whether he experienced the intense pain of suffocation and burning that would result from injecting a conscious person with rocuronium bromide and potassium chloride,” Madeline reportedly said.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are republishing this story to raise awareness about botched executions in the United States. It’s estimated that 3% of U.S. executions between 1890 to 2010 were botched, with Lethal injection having the highest rate of failure.
