Arizona death row inmate Joseph Wood, who had been sentenced to die for a 1989 double homicide, was executed Wednesday via a lethal injection that took nearly two hours to kill him.
Botched Execution In Arizona
Wood’s botched execution is merely the latest that has resulted from new methods of administering the lethal injection. After receiving the drug cocktail, Wood snorted and struggled to breathe until he finally expired, according to attorney Dale Baich.
"It took Joseph Wood two hours to die, and he gasped and struggled to breathe for about an hour and 40 minutes,” Baich said in a statement, according to CNN. “We will renew our efforts to get information about the manufacturer of drugs as well as how Arizona came up with the experimental formula of drugs it used today.”
Baich added, "Arizona appears to have joined several other states who have been responsible for an entirely preventable horror -- a bungled execution.
