McALESTER, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma executed a death row inmate Thursday in its first lethal injection since a botched one last spring, and it carried out the punishment with a three-drug method that Florida used for an execution the same night.

Charles Frederick Warner's execution for the 1997 killing of an 11-month-old girl in Oklahoma City lasted 18 minutes. Prison officials declared him dead at 7:28 p.m. CST.

Meanwhile, officials in Florida, announced the death of Johnny Shane Kormondy at 8:16 p.m. EST for killing a man in 1993 in Pensacola. The executions, which occurred 12 minutes apart, were both delayed over court questions concerning a sedative used in the punishments.

"Before I give my final statement, I'll tell you they poked me five times. It hurt. It feels like acid," Warner said before his execution began. He added, "I'm not a monster. I didn't do everything they said I did."

1. I'm opposed to the DP.

Gives me no peace to know we torment and kill anybody.

[ChosenUnWisely]

5. Only unciviliized nations/stated murder its own citizens.

2. That poor innocent baby. No pity for this man.

[sakabatou]

3. I have no pity either

That being said, these botched executions are far from humane.

[get the red out]

4. He raped her to death

Of course I read that somewhere else. I wonder if this piece of shit ever worried about how she suffered? Just saying...

[4Q2u2]

6. Maybe it was his future knocking on his Door

Could be it was not the drugs and was the Welcome Wagon saying Welcome to the Neighborhood.


"I did not do EVERYTHING they said I did"
So was it he just raped her and did not kill her, or he just killed her and did not rape her.

7. Everyone has a bad day now and then.

Looks like yesterday was yours, Charles.

8. Well charley

I could imagine what the 11 month old baby girl felt when you were raping and then killing her so Fuck you charles frederick warner

9. I'm against the DP for practical reasons

When the costs of the appeals are totaled, it's cheaper to keep prisoners in for life without parole.

That said, if we're going to keep doing this, let's stop overthinking it. Lethal injection, the chair, and the gas chamber have too high of a botch rate.

11. Rope is reuseable

Make them from hemp. Just for the LoLz.

[NuclearDem]

15. What a mature, enlightened post.

[Telcontar]

17. You read too much into it

Objecting to the DP on financial grounds isn't productive. I have a moral/ethical objection.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

18. Productive is in the eye of the beholder here

I have no particular empathy or sympathy for murderers, rapists, and other death penalty recipients. Further, I don't find any evidence that the framers intended for capital punishment to be considered cruel/unusual. What I do object to is the waste of millions in tax dollars pursuing death penalty appeals. We have better, more productive things on which to spend the money.

...and sure, if it's American sourced hemp, I'm good with that.

10. The mother of the girl is opposed to the death penalty and wanted life without parole

The board denied Warner’s request, but during that proceeding he found himself with a surprising ally, the mother of his young victim spoke up on his behalf to spare his life.

Shonda Waller is baby Adrianna’s mother. She was just 22 years old when her infant was raped and murdered by Charles Warner.

“I don’t want to see him to be sentenced to death.” Waller said. “If they truly want to honor me then they will do away with the death penalty for him and they will give him life in prison without the possibility of parole because that’s the only thing that’s going to honor me.”

Waller is adamantly against the death penalty. She is a Christian and a victim of a vicious crime, and she believes God alone is the giver and taker of life.

“I can only see him spending the rest of his life in prison and dying in prison without him ever walking outside of those cell walls.” said Waller. “I don’t see any justice in just sentencing someone to die. To me, the justice is in someone living with what they have done to you to your family, and having to live with that the rest of their life knowing they will never get to walk out those doors.”

12. There are people here who are even opposed to "Life without Parole"

I have no pity to spare for this monster.

[stevenleser]

13. LWOP makes the most sense to me. Protect the community and yet, if the person is not guilty...

... gives them and the authorities time to discover/prove it.

14. Read it and weep

For the baby.

16. Being complicated creatures who contain multitudes, it's possible for us to have little pity for

someone in this situation and still believe the state killing in our name is wrong.
