Officials have postponed the execution of a convicted murderer found unconscious in his cell a day before his execution was to happen.
He apparently took an overdose of pills and was rushed to the hospital in serious condition.
The death warrant expires at midnight tuesday night the day his execution was scheduled and will likely have to be reissued.
The warden said " It is the state of ohio's constitutional duty to care for Reynolds even though he was scheduled to die by lethal ejection today..
OK....does anybody else see something wrong with this picture?

I'm against the death penalty in any form, but what I find odd about this, is, the inmate was able to collect an amount of pills that could be that harmful without someone noticing .. And, I also find it odd that the state would try to save someone who clearly wants to die on his/her own, is it afraid he/she will cheat the state of its deadly fun ...

Yeah, it shows the PRISON system, is full of corruption and drugs. Just a microcosm of the society that put them there.

Exactly!! apparently he wanted to die so why didnt they just let him lay there? Now the state of Ohio has to pay to keep him alive and also has to pay to kill him.....go figure!

Its sad that everything is so freaking PC right now, that they had to do this, because if they didnt, someone would have sued the state of ohio for not saving him, even through he was scheduled to die Tuesday night. Like one more day on this earth would have made a difference.

@Naughty & Cum
You should watch "Lockup:Raw" or "Lockdown" on MSNBC. Interesting shows and you see how much goes on in the prisons (or at least a little bit). While it is the guard's job to watch the prisoners, it's only for however long their shift is. The prisoners have literally 24 hours a day to figure stuff out and there's only so much that can be done.
It is unfortunate that the protection against "cruel and unusual punishment" would be used in this manner, but that is what it is there for. It's no weirder than somebody going in for lethal injection and they make sure the needle is sterile as well as wipe the injection site with an alcohol pad.

My ex-husband retired from the Air Force with 26 years in and then went to work as a prison guard for the state of Florida. He said that the thing that was almost scarier than staying on guard against the prisoners was having to watch your back against the other guards. The politics at play inside are unbelievable. They will say or do anything to move up the ladder and away from the cons. He said they sell each other out all the time. He did it for 9 years and is now a Pinkerton man at Dulles Airport. Said the stress level went down 1000%. Just glad my son still has his dad.

I think that any inmate on death row should automatically have a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order signed and notarized. They weren't put on death row to keep them alive..... That way, when they go and try and kill themselves, we dont have to pay to keep them alive. Sad thing is, a lot of people who overdose on drugs, even if they do save them, spend the rest of their lives with machines living for them, which we end up paying for. Bad enough we have to pay for the 10s of years that they are living on death row....

we'd save a hell of alot of money by just putting a bullet in the back of their heads. It cost 50k a yr for every inmate to keep them alive. we could do alot of good things for people who were worthy of help in this country( dont mean the welfare creeps), but people who try and survive but are having tbl.thats my 2 cents, Gunny.
they used to have guys go around with their ropes and their job was to hang criminals. maybe they should do that again.

I saw a news special before on how executing someone actually costs more than keeping them in jail for life...Im pro death penalty when it applies, but the money issue doesn't seem to be in favor. By that argument a life sentence makes more economic sense.

I am personally opposed to the death penalty. But I believe that life in prison should be just that. In an isolation cell, fed just the basic necessities to keep you alive, NO TV, NO NEWSPAPERS, NO MAGAZINES, allowed outside for two hours a day to get the sunlight you need, but ALONE, bathe twice a week. No appeals of the death sentence to keep you alive on death row for twenty years, because there is NO death sentence. You just sit there and rot. To me, that kind of a life sentence is a lot worse than death. You are totally alone, you have no idea what is going on in the outside world, you have no contact with family or friends (no mail allowed), so you just sit there slowly going insane from lack of contact with anyone. To me that's a lot more punishment than killing you. Wouldn't cost anywhere near $50,000.00 a year to keep you on death row, or the costs of appeals. Just the cost to build the prison and the individual isolation cells, and minimun food, and the cost of guards to let you in and out for sunshine and bathing. Guards have no worry about being attacked, since there are two or three of them every time an individual prisoner is let out. No groups of prisoners to worry about. A peanut butter sandwich in the morning with water, and a mystery meat meal in the evening with vegetables that supply the minimum daily requirement to keep you alive. NOW THAT IS PUNISHMENT. But we can't do that, it would violate their constitutional rights. BULLSHIT, if we can kill them, we could do this.

That sort of isolation causes insanity, and puts the corrections officers in a lot more unnecessary danger.. Off With Their Heads~~

The problem with "off with their heads" is that there have been over 40 death row prisoners in the last 5 years released because DNA evidence showed they didn't commit the crime. Most were convicted on eyewitness testimony. Studies by the American Bar Association have shown that less than 30% of eyewitness testimony is accurate. Which is why I don't believe in the death penalty. As has been said before by many famous Americans, better that 12 guilty walk free than 1 innocent be put to death. We had one case here in Florida recently that a man convicted of rape, based on the testimony of the victim, spent 23 years in prison before being freed on DNA evidence. He had 7 alibi witnesses testify at the trial that he was with them at the time of the rape, but the jury convicted him on the testimony of the witness that he was the one. She originally told the police that he was about 6'2" tall, but she identified a man in a lineup that was only 5'7". He spent 23 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, all based on supposed "eyewitness" testimony. Now the woman is saying she was probably wrong and that the police told her he was most likely the one who raped her. Hell, she should be put in jail for 23 years, along with the cops that coached her.

I agree Crank, but I can tell you this, driving a person insane by isolating them makes them pray for death.. So those innocent people are not only in jail, but driven to insanity..

A fast execution of the judgment would cause a lot of the crime to go down therefore not so many in the prisons

Mandatory DNA swabbing will benefit those wrongfully in prison and put the one's who do belong there, in.
