Death Row Inmate Says Tonight’s Execution Will Be “Torturous”

Florida is set to execute its record breaking 17th inmate of the
year. And while the guilt of 63-year-old Richard Barry Randolph
is not in question, the method by which he will die tonight is,
according to his attorneys. Randolph suffers from Lupus and
believes dying by lethal injection will be cruel and unusual
given his condition, which his lawyers claim will amplify any
sensation of pain. He’s been on death row for more than 3 decades
now for the rape and brutal murder of his former coworker, and
even though his death sentence had a far from unanimous jury
decision, he has officially exhausted all of his appeals.
