Published: Tue, July 15, 2008 - 6:21 pm

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by
four Mississippi death row inmates who claimed the state's method
of lethal injection is unconstitutional because it could cause
pain.

The inmates, including one scheduled to die next week, wanted
U.S. District Judge W. Allen Pepper to issue an injunction that
would block any executions in the state.

Pepper on Tuesday, however, dismissed the lawsuit on several
grounds, including statute of limitations arguments.

Attorney General Jim Hood says the ruling clears the way for Dale Leo Bishop's execution, scheduled for July 23. Bishop's attorneys filed a motion Monday labeled "urgent and necessitous," urging the judge to halt executions.

Do the crime pay the price. The State of Mississippi does not put shoplifters on Death Row. I do believe that while in a controlled enviroment, SOME PRISONERS can be rehabilitated to a degree but that does not ERASE OR FORGIVE the crime they have committed. Everytime I turn on my television I see where someone has shot someone else, or beat the crap out of someone for a $10 piece of crack or $25 so that they can go and buy their crack or drug of choice. I am so tired of the O K CORRAL mentality that these punks think they live in, we are suppose to be civilized human beings not barbaric animals who if they don’t get their way kill their prey. COMMITT THE CRIME, PAY THE PRICE.

The cost of a .45 Cal. Bullet is just under a dollar...Being able to watch a scum bag like that tale one in the head...PRICELESS.....IMO They just need to line up all death row inmates and put a bullet in each ones head...its relatively clean and very quick....cost efficient also.

If it is too painful for them to get a needle stuck in their arm then maybe they should put them though the same death as their victim. Lets bring back hanging, the electric chair, and gas chamber and then lets see which method they pick to be executed by then.
